St. Benignus; Festival of All Saints; Commemoration of the Dead; St. Hubert is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet holds four small scenes carved into metal. Each picture is round, like a coin, with people dressed in old robes. One shows a man pointing at a building. Another has a group of figures holding hands under a bright light. One picture has a deer standing on a rock. The last shows a winged creature floating above sleeping people. These pictures tell stories about saints and holy days. The artist used sharp lines to make the scenes look simple but full of meaning. Want to know more?

Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
