"St. Ulrich 1518" is a woodcut by Hans Burgkmair the Elder, a prominent German painter and printmaker of the Renaissance period. Created in 1518, this work is part of Burgkmair's extensive oeuvre, which includes religious subjects, portraits, and historical scenes. The woodcut depicts Saint Ulrich of Augsburg, a 10th-century bishop who was canonized for his role in defending Augsburg against Magyar invaders.

Hans Burgkmair the Elder (1473–1531) was born in Augsburg and is known for his pioneering contributions to the development of the woodcut as a fine art form. His work is characterized by its detailed line work and innovative use of the chiaroscuro technique, which he was one of the first to employ in woodcuts. This technique involves the use of strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality.

"St. Ulrich 1518" exemplifies Burgkmair's skill in portraying religious figures with a sense of dignity and solemnity. The woodcut likely served a devotional purpose, as images of saints were commonly used to aid in private prayer and meditation during the Renaissance. The work may also reflect the local pride of Augsburg citizens in their patron saint, whose legendary deeds were an important part of the city's history and identity.

The woodcut is notable for its intricate detail and the way in which Burgkmair captures the textures of fabrics and armor, as well as the saint's serene expression. As with many of his prints, "St. Ulrich 1518" would have been produced in multiple impressions, allowing for the wide dissemination of Burgkmair's art during his lifetime and contributing to his reputation as one of the leading printmakers of his day.

Today, "St. Ulrich 1518" is considered an important example of Northern Renaissance art and provides valuable insight into the religious and cultural milieu of early 16th-century Germany. It remains a testament to Hans Burgkmair the Elder's mastery of the woodcut medium and his significant role in the history of European art.
