St. Canida; St. Matthew; St. Ipigenia; St. Maurice and Companions is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a collection of four etchings, each depicting a different scene. The top left etching shows a woman being attacked by two men, while the top right etching features a man holding a book and a child with wings. The bottom left etching portrays a woman and a man standing together, and the bottom right etching shows a group of people in various poses. The etchings are rendered in a detailed and intricate style, with fine lines and shading that create a sense of depth and texture. The scenes are set against a plain background, which helps to focus attention on the figures and their interactions. The etchings are attributed to the artist Jacques Callot, who was known for his work in the Baroque style.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
