St. Maximilian; St. Carpus; St. Daniel and Angelus; St. Fortunatus is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows four small scenes in oval frames. Each picture has a robed figure—some standing, some kneeling—with simple buildings or a sky in the background. The lines are scratchy, like someone drew fast with a sharp tool. One scene shows a man with a spear and another praying by a cave. These images are religious stories, labeled with names like *St. Maximilian* and *St. Fortunatus*. The artist used a method that lets ink sit in grooves cut into metal. This makes the lines look rough and textured. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints this way.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
