Ascension; Pentacost; Trinity; Corpus Christi is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small religious scenes framed in ovals. The top left depicts a robed figure rising into the sky, surrounded by clouds. Below, two people look up. The top right shows a group gathered under a bright light, with one figure at the center. The bottom left has three figures in a cloudy scene, one holding a crown. The bottom right shows a table with a golden object, people kneeling, and a building in the background. These prints use fine lines to create depth and movement, typical of the time. The text below each scene is in Latin and French, referencing Bible verses. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
