Saint Erasmus

Deutsche Grafik 1470–1480, ca. 1470/1480

This is a drawing of an anatomical scene. The image shows various figures gathered around a central figure on a table, who seems to be undergoing a medical or anatomical procedure. The figure on the table lies supine with a visible incision, and there is a cord-like element emerging from the body. Surrounding the table are figures in medieval attire, with head coverings and robes, observing the procedure. The background features intricate patterns and two arched window-like structures with green checker patterns. The scene is framed under an arch, providing a sense of depth and focus.
