St. Pantaleon; Sts. Nazarius and Celsus; St. Martha; St. Beatrice is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet holds four small scenes, each framed in an oval. The top left shows a man being hanged from a tree while a crowd watches. The top right has two robed figures by the water, one holding a child. The bottom left depicts a group gathered around a well, and the bottom right shows a man kneeling beside a bed with a woman lying down. Each scene is labeled with a saint’s name—like *St. Pantaleon* or *St. Beatrice*—and the artist’s signature, *Israel ex.*, is tucked in the corners. The lines are sharp and detailed, but the images feel tense and dramatic. Try looking up etching to see how artists like Callot made these crisp lines.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
