St. Emeric; St. Charles Borromeo; St. Vitalis & Agricola; Sts. Zachary & Elizabeth is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small religious scenes etched into a single sheet. Each scene is framed in an oval, with figures dressed in robes and halos. The top left shows two men embracing, the top right depicts a man handing something to another, the bottom left has a crucifixion with an angel, and the bottom right shows two older men with a child between them. The artist used shading and linework to create depth in these simple scenes. The figures are stylized but clear, and the backgrounds are minimal, focusing attention on the actions. Next, look up the technique: etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
