"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. Born around 1445 in Colmar, then part of the Holy Roman Empire, Schongauer was renowned for his delicate and detailed copper engravings, which were widely disseminated and influential among his contemporaries and later artists.

The artwork "St. Agnes" depicts the Christian saint Agnes of Rome, a virgin–martyr who is venerated as one of the most significant saints of the Roman Catholic Church. She is often portrayed as a young girl in robes, holding a lamb, which symbolizes her purity and her name's resemblance to the Latin word for lamb, "agnus." In Schongauer's representation, St. Agnes is typically shown with the attributes that identify her sainthood, and the work is characterized by the intricate line work and emotional depth that are hallmarks of Schongauer's style.

While the exact date of creation for "St. Agnes" is not definitively known, it is likely to have been produced during the peak of Schongauer's career, which spanned from the 1470s until his death in 1491. His engravings were known for their technical proficiency and artistic beauty, often featuring religious subjects rendered with a combination of realism and idealism.

The influence of Schongauer's work extended beyond his lifetime, with "St. Agnes" and other engravings serving as examples for the next generation of artists, including the young Albrecht Dürer, who made a pilgrimage to Colmar to study Schongauer's work. "St. Agnes" is an important piece within Schongauer's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and his contribution to the development of engraving as a fine art during the Northern Renaissance.

As with many works of its time, the current location of "St. Agnes" or its various impressions may be found in art museums or private collections, and the piece continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of late 15th-century European art.
