About the Work

In his drawings, Tübke captured his models with great sensitivity. He had a penchant for faces full of character and thus timeless in quality. In this watercolour, St Ignatius of Loyola—a Counter-Reformer and the founder of the Jesuit order—comes so close that we have the feeling of encountering a contemporary. At the upper right, the artist sketched the saint’s open hand with the stigma on one finger and a reference to Psalm 118.
