Marcus Christoph Sadeler carved prints in the 1600s, specializing in religious scenes. His Martyrdom of St. Lawrence shows the saint on a grill in crisp black lines, typical of the period’s finely detailed engravings. These prints were small, portable, and meant to spread stories and devotion across Europe. Tap Martyrdom of St. Lawrence to zoom in on the sharp textures and dramatic pose.
