St. Aurea; St. Bartholomew; St. Louis; St. Genesius is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet shows four small scenes, each framed like a window. The top left has a woman in a long dress kneeling by a river, with a soldier behind her. The top right shows a man tied to a post while others hold up a sword. The bottom left has a robed figure standing in a doorway, holding a long staff. The bottom right depicts a man being dragged by angels while others watch. Each scene is labeled with a saint’s name and the month *August*. The lines are sharp and detailed, with lots of cross-hatching to show shadows and texture. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot created these fine lines.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
