"St. Christopher" (c. 1922) is a notable work by the British artist and sculptor Eric Gill (1882–1940), who was renowned for his contributions to the arts and crafts movement, as well as for his typographic designs and sculptures. This piece is emblematic of Gill's religious artworks, reflecting his deep personal faith and his interest in depicting biblical and saintly figures with a modernist sensibility. "St. Christopher" portrays the legendary Christian martyr known for carrying the Christ child across a river, a subject that has been popular in Christian art for centuries. Gill's rendition of St. Christopher is distinctive for its simplicity and the clarity of its lines, characteristics that are typical of his artistic style.

Eric Gill's approach to this work, as with many of his religious pieces, was to strip away the unnecessary details and focus on the essential form and spiritual message of the subject. This methodology aligns with the broader arts and crafts movement's emphasis on handcraftsmanship and the inherent beauty of materials, which Gill adapted to express his spiritual and moral beliefs. "St. Christopher" c. 1922, thus, not only serves as a representation of a revered saint but also as an expression of Gill's artistic and ethical principles. The work is reflective of Gill's mastery in balancing figuration and abstraction, imbuing the piece with a sense of timelessness and universality.

As with many of Gill's works, "St. Christopher" c. 1922, is also a testament to his controversial legacy. While his artistic achievements are widely celebrated, his personal life and beliefs have been the subject of much scrutiny and debate. Nonetheless, "St. Christopher" remains an important piece within Gill's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill as a sculptor and his capacity to convey profound religious and philosophical ideas through the medium of visual art. This work is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its place within the context of early 20th-century British art, offering insights into the intersections of art, religion, and modernity during this period.
