St. Romaricus; St. Leocadia; Sts. Mennas and Hermogenes; St. Damasus is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet shows four small, oval scenes of religious figures. The top left has a robed woman holding a book, standing in front of a town. Next to her, a tiny group watches. The top right shows a woman in a dark dress kneeling by a wall. The bottom left has two soldiers in armor, one holding a spear. The bottom right depicts a bishop in fancy robes handing something to a kneeling man. Each scene is drawn with fine lines and shading, giving a sense of depth. The artist used a technique called *etching* to create these detailed images. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
