St. Potentiana; St. Dunstan; St. Yvo; St. Bernardinus of Siena is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval etchings. Each one depicts a saint in a simple outdoor scene. In the top left, a woman sits with a child near a small building. The top right shows a tall saint holding a long staff while others stand around. The bottom left has a robed man handing something to a kneeling figure. The bottom right features a saint on a ladder, reaching upward toward a building. The etchings use fine lines and shading to create depth. The saints wear simple robes, and the backgrounds are plain but detailed. The artist focused on everyday moments, not grand settings. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
