St Simon. Plate 4. From: Christ and the Apostles, 1545. St Simon is shown in a very classicised pose, concentrating intently on the religious tome that he is reading. The book rests on a block which is decorated with a heraldic device featuring a two-handled saw, which alludes to Simon's martyrdom in which such a device was used to kill him.
