Saint James the Great

About this work

You see a saint standing, dressed in simple clothes, with a staff in his hand. He's looking up, and his face shows a sense of calm. The interesting thing about this work is that it was made using a pretty small plate, which is impressive given the detail. The artist managed to fit a lot of details into this small space. This suggests the artist was very skilled at etching. Check out the work of artist: Callot, Jacques.
