Saint Christopher and the Christ Childcirca 1550

Not on view
Oil painting, horizontal, with a bearded man and infant on a gold orb at center, surrounded by fantastical creatures, a severed head hanging from a tree, a cracked egg atop a tower, and a distant battle scene
Oil painting detail of a severed bearded head hanging inverted by its hair from a wooden post, with a hatchet and metal ring visible above, against a pale blue sky with distant landscape.
Oil painting detail showing a chaotic battle scene with fantastical figures in dark water and on land; a large pink-scaled wing dominates the upper left, a giant copper ring stands at center, armed figures with bows and spears cluster at right, and small nude figures struggle in murky water; dark, densely layered brushwork in the manner of early Netherlandish painting.
