"description": "Though exposed to the works of Albrecht D\u00fcrer and Lucas van Leyden, Dirk Vellert came from an applied arts background, including glass painting, which may explain his ornamental approach to engraving. His techniques emphasize texture and pattern over volume and space. In this print Vellert depicted Saint Luke, the patron saint of artists, known for his miraculous vision of the Virgin Mary.",
