St. Helen; St. Donatus; St. Ludovicus, Bishop; St. Bernard is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet holds four small scenes, each framed in an oval. The top left shows a woman in robes holding a cross, standing by a ship. The top right has a man in a cave, kneeling beside a sleeping lion. The bottom left features a bishop blessing a kneeling child. The bottom right shows a monk holding a staff, standing in front of a tower. These images are etched into the paper, not painted. The lines are sharp and detailed, showing how the artist used a needle to carve the design. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
