St. Ferreolus; St. Januarius; St. Eustachius & his Children; Sts. Fausta & Evelasius is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows five saints standing side by side. Each wears robes and holds a book or palm branch. The lines are sharp and clear. Jacques Callot made this using etching and drypoint. That means he scratched into a metal plate with acid and a needle. The details in their faces and clothes are amazing for such a small print. This style is rare for its time. See it at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
