St. Simeon Salus; The Visitation; Deposition of the Virgin's Clothes; St. Hiacintus is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This set of four small prints shows religious scenes. The top left has a woman holding a child while others gather around. The top right shows two women embracing near a doorway. The bottom left depicts a bishop-like figure with a crowd behind him. The bottom right has a man being beaten with a stick. These were made using a printing method that lets artists carve fine lines into metal. The scenes look dramatic but are drawn with sharp, precise lines. Want to know more? Look up etching.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
