St. Clement; St. Lucretia; St. Chrysogonus; St. Catharine is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a set of four small black-and-white prints. Each shows a different scene with people in dramatic poses. One man lies on the shore while others stand nearby. Another woman clutches a sword, kneeling by a body. A third scene shows a man pulling something from the water. The last has a woman with a wheel and angels around her. These prints use sharp lines and strong contrasts. The artist packed a lot of action into tiny spaces. The names on top hint at stories about saints. Want to see more like this? Look up etching.
