St. Remigius; St. Leodegarius; St. Gerard, Abbot; St. Francis of Assisi is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows four small scenes with people in robes. Each picture has a round frame and is labeled with a saint’s name. The top left shows a tall man handing something to a kneeling figure. The top right has a group of people, one holding a book. The bottom left shows a man outside a building with a crowd. The bottom right has a person preaching to a small crowd under a tree. The lines are sharp and detailed, made by scratching into metal. This was a common way to make prints in the 1600s. Want to see more? Look up etching.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
