"Saint Philip the Apostle" is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the year 1516. This work is part of a series of engravings known as the "Apostles," which includes depictions of the Twelve Apostles, central figures in Christianity known for their role as early disciples of Jesus Christ. Dürer's portrayal of Saint Philip is characterized by meticulous detail and the use of intricate lines, a hallmark of the artist's engraving technique.

In the engraving, Saint Philip is depicted holding a tall, cross-topped staff, symbolizing his martyrdom, as he was crucified for his faith according to Christian tradition. His expression is contemplative and serene, reflecting the solemn dignity often associated with the apostles. The work exemplifies Dürer's skill in rendering textures and fabrics, as seen in the realistic folds of Philip's garments, which lend a sense of volume and three-dimensionality to the figure.

Dürer's "Saint Philip the Apostle" is not only a testament to his artistic prowess but also reflects the religious and cultural milieu of early 16th-century Europe. The engraving is valued for its historical significance and its contribution to the understanding of Renaissance portraiture and iconography. As with many of Dürer's engravings, this piece is highly regarded by art historians and collectors and is studied for its technical excellence and its place within the broader context of Dürer's body of work and the Northern Renaissance art movement.

The engraving is held in various collections around the world and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, which often focuses on Dürer's innovative approach to composition, his use of symbolism, and the influence of humanist thought on his artistic choices. "Saint Philip the Apostle" remains an important example of Albrecht Dürer's contribution to the visual arts and the enduring legacy of his mastery of the engraving medium.
