St. Othilia; Sts. Nicasius & Eutropia; St. Agnelus; Sts. Thyrsus & Callinicus is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Saint Dominic, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see seven saints standing in a row on a blank background. Their halos glow faintly. Each saint wears different robes and holds a book or staff. Jacques Callot carved this print by scratching lines into metal with acid. The lines are fine and precise. The saints look flat but still stand out. Callot often made prints like this. Look up Callot, Jacques next.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
