St. Nicephorus; St. Nestor; St. Julian; Translation of St. Augustin is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval scenes etched into paper. The top left depicts men working around a large barrel, while the top right shows a group gathered around a table with a person lying on it. The bottom left has a man on horseback, holding a spear, with others nearby. The bottom right shows a group of people standing around a table with a book or cloth on it. These images look like religious stories turned into pictures. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and details, which makes the scenes feel dramatic. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these sharp, detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
