St. Luke; St. Lucian; St. Irene; St. Hilarion is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small oval scenes, each framed like a window. The top left depicts a bearded man kneeling beside a bed, holding a book while a dog rests nearby. The top right shows a robed figure standing on a rocky shore, holding a long staff. The bottom left has two people—one older, one younger—walking near a tree. The bottom right features a lone figure climbing a steep, tree-covered hill. These scenes look like stories from religious history, each labeled with a saint’s name. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures, like the folds in the robes or the rough rocks. Want to see more like this? Check out the Baroque movement.
