"St. Agnes" is a notable work by the German artist Martin Schongauer, who was one of the most important engravers and painters of the late Gothic period in Europe. Created in the 15th century, this artwork exemplifies Schongauer's delicate and detailed style, which had a significant influence on the development of Northern Renaissance art. The piece is named after Saint Agnes of Rome, a virgin–martyr and one of the most revered early Christian saints, whose iconography often includes symbols such as a lamb, representing her purity, and the palm branch, a symbol of martyrdom.

While the exact date of "St. Agnes" is not definitively known, Schongauer's works are generally dated between the 1470s and his death in 1491. The artwork is believed to be a fine example of Schongauer's mastery in capturing the serene and devotional qualities of his subjects, which was achieved through his intricate and expressive line work. "St. Agnes" likely served a devotional purpose, either as a standalone piece or as part of a larger altarpiece, reflecting the religious fervor and artistic tastes of the time.

Martin Schongauer's contributions to printmaking, particularly copper engraving, were groundbreaking, and "St. Agnes" is considered an important piece within his oeuvre. His technique involved incising images onto copper plates with remarkable precision, allowing for multiple high-quality reproductions that could be disseminated widely, thus enhancing his reputation across Europe. "St. Agnes" not only showcases Schongauer's technical skill but also his ability to convey complex spiritual narratives through visual art.

The current location of "St. Agnes" or its existence as a physical artwork is not well-documented, and it is unclear whether the piece survives in a public or private collection, or if it is known only through historical references. Despite this, the work's historical and artistic significance is recognized in the context of Schongauer's impact on the Northern Renaissance and the evolution of engraving as an art form.
