St. Hippolytus; St. Radegund, Queen; St. Cassian; St. Athanasia is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small scenes in oval frames. Each picture has a saint—some standing, some with halos, some in robes. The background is simple: buildings, trees, or a few people. One scene shows a woman at a loom, another a man with a palm branch, one a bearded saint with children, and another a queen-like figure in fancy clothes. The names above each scene (like *St. Radegund*) hint at who these people are, but the artist carved these images into metal using ink. That’s called *etching*—a sharp tool scratches lines into a plate, then ink fills them. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
