St. Medard; St. Calliopa; Sts. Primus and Felician; St. Margaret of Scotland is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet holds four small religious scenes in oval frames. The top left shows a robed figure standing under an angel with outstretched wings. The top right depicts two people in old-fashioned clothes, one holding a book. The bottom left has a kneeling man with a halo, reaching toward a cross on a pole. The bottom right features a woman in a long dress, standing near a man with a dragon at her feet. These images are drawn with fine lines and shading, typical of etched prints. The artist used cross-hatching to create depth and texture. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
