St. Patricia; Sts. Secundus and Alexander; St. Cesarius; St. Augustine 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. Each picture frames a group of people in simple, dark lines. The figures wear old-fashioned clothes—wide hats, robes, and sandals. One scene shows a man with a tall staff, another has a crowd around a building, and a third depicts a scholar with a book. The artist signed each print with "Israel ex" and "Aug," likely short for Israel Augspurg, the publisher. These images tell stories of saints, but the details are left to your imagination. Next, check out the technique: 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.
