St. Ambrose; St. Vincent Ferrer; St. Celestin; St. Lazarus is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows four small scenes in oval frames. Each picture has a saint with a crowd around them. The lines are sharp and dark, with no color. One saint stands near a lion, another sits on a throne, and one raises a dead man from the ground. The artist used a tool to scratch into metal plates. This made the lines look rough and detailed. The scenes are packed with tiny figures and symbols. Look up *etching* to see how this technique works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
