São Cristóvão atravessando a água com Cristo sobre seus ombros

1513

Albrecht Altdorfer, mestre do Renascimento alemão e da Escola do Danúbio, captura aqui um momento de intensa luta física. O gigante São Cristóvão atravessa águas turbulentas, apoiando-se pesadamente em seu cajado enquanto carrega o Menino Jesus, surpreendentemente pesado, sobre os ombros. Observe o minúsculo «1513» e o monograma do artista esculpidos no tronco da árvore à direita, uma assinatura clássica da época. Altdorfer era famoso por fazer a natureza parecer viva e avassaladora, e mesmo nesta cena religiosa, as árvores selvagens e redemoinhantes e a água parecem diminuir as figuras humanas.
