St. Flavian; St. Victoria; St. Servulus; St. Tharsilla is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet holds four small religious scenes, each framed in an oval. The top left shows two men—one standing, one kneeling—near a pole with a cross. The top right depicts a woman lying on a cloud while another figure kneels below. The bottom left has a group of people around a bed, with a figure floating above. The bottom right shows a woman in bed with a standing figure holding a cross. These images use simple lines and shading to tell stories. The text around the edges names each saint, like *St. Flavian* or *St. Victoria*, but the scenes focus on their struggles or miracles. Next, check out how *etching* works to see how artists like Callot created these sharp details.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
