Saint Christopher is a lost painting by Jan van Eyck, known today mainly through a c 1460-70 copy on oil on oak panel by an unknown follower now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and a c 1480 drawing in the Musee du Louvre from around 1480. Each show a giant, bearded man, wading through water with a large stick, carrying the infant Christ on his shoulders. The implication is that St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers, carries the weight of the world on his back; The works show him leaning on a large stick as Christ holds a globe, with arms raised in blessing, his robe billowing to the right. The pair are set in a highly detailed, richly coloured and atmospheric landscape. There are jagged rocks on either side, set against an early evening sky, with star formations.
