St. Mary of Victory; St. Simeon, Prophet; St. Pelagia; Sts. Reparata and Benedicta is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet holds four small religious scenes, each framed in an oval. The top left shows a shipwreck at sea with a stormy sky. The top right has a robed figure holding a book, standing near a small building. The bottom left depicts a kneeling woman in prayer by a riverbank. The bottom right shows two figures—one kneeling, the other standing—with a third person working nearby. Notice how the lines are sharp and detailed, typical of etchings. The scenes look dramatic, with lots of movement and emotion. Want to know more? Try looking up etching.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
