St. Ignatius; Purification of the Virgin; St. Blaise; St. Isidore is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small scenes carved into a single print. Each one is framed like a window, with people dressed in old-fashioned robes. The top left shows a man with a long beard holding a baby, while a woman kneels beside him. The top right has a group of people near a building, with one woman holding a candle. The bottom left features a man holding a tall cross, and the bottom right shows a monk with a book, standing over a sleeping man. These scenes look like they’re telling stories from religious history. The artist used sharp lines to create shadows and movement, making the figures look dramatic. Want to see more like this?
