St. Dionysius, Rusticus & Eleutherius; St. Abraham; St. Gereon & Companions; Sts. Probus & Andronichus is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows four small scenes, each framed in an oval. The top left has two men—one holding a book, the other a sword—standing near a building. The top right shows a man on a block with another figure holding a sword above him. The bottom left has a group of people, some kneeling, with one man pointing upward. The bottom right depicts two men in chains, one with his arms raised. Each scene is labeled with names and dates, like "Octob." These are likely saints from Christian stories. The lines are sharp and detailed, with some cross-hatching for shadows. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
