[Early print; Master of the Berlin Passion]
Saint Augustine with the Eagle of St John and St Bridget as a small supporting figure., Ca. 1480-1500.
Sole copy known.
Sole example known, a beautiful, if crude, woodcut portraying Saint Augustin and Saint Bridget, which leads us to believe it was created in or for a Bridgettine Monastery. The depiction is a free copy after an engraving by the so-called Master of the Berlin Passion. Schreiber assumes that it was created in a Dutch or Flemish Bridgettine monastery around 1480-1500.
