St. Servatius; St. Boniface; St. Pachomius; St. Corona is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Engraving Proces, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows four saints in long robes, standing side by side. Each wears a halo and holds a book or staff. The lines are crisp and the shadows deep. Callot was a French printmaker who worked mostly in Nancy and Paris. He made this around 1632, when prints were a quick way to spread images far and wide. The saints look stiff, but the shading gives them weight. Look up Callot, Jacques next.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
