Saint Amond is a 1621 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a crowd gathered under a big tree. A robed figure stands in the center, holding something up like a banner. Around them, people sit, stand, or kneel, some with children, all facing the figure as if listening. The background has a distant landscape with buildings and a river. Notice how the artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel lively. This was a common trick in etchings to create depth.
