St. Mary of Mont Carmel; St. Raineldis; St. Alexis; St. Arnold of Metz is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet holds four small, oval scenes carved into dark lines on light paper. The top left shows a robed figure with a glowing halo, surrounded by people and animals. The top right depicts a man carrying another on a stretcher, with a group watching in a doorway. The bottom left has a crowd around a man lying on the ground, while the bottom right shows a monk praying by a bed. These images look like old stories turned into pictures. The artist used sharp lines to create drama and emotion in small spaces. Want to see more work like this? Check out etching to learn how artists carve images into metal.
