St. Eulalia; St. Fusca and Maura; St. Valentine; St. Anthony is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval etchings, each with a different scene. The top left has a woman on a cross with two soldiers below. The top right shows a woman with a group of people, some on horses. The bottom left depicts a man holding a spear with a kneeling figure and others watching. The bottom right features a robed figure holding a staff with a bird and a dog nearby. Each scene is framed by clouds and text, likely names of saints. The lines are sharp and detailed, typical of etchings. These images were made to tell religious stories in a simple, clear way. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use acid to carve into metal plates.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
