Nicholas Dorigny is a Baroque artist. 8 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This guy made prints that feel like travel souvenirs from another century. He carved religious scenes so crisp they look like photographs, except the robes are a little too dramatic. A friend once pointed out how he turned St. Paul’s sermon into a crowd scene, like a 1700s crowd-control diagram.

See if his Healing of the Lame Man isn’t the first time you’ve watched a print make a miracle look ordinary.
