St. Theodorus; St. Agnes of Monte Pulciano; St. Anselme, Archbishop of Canterbury; St. Opportuna and Virgin is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Engraving Proces, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows five saints standing in a line. Each has a halo and holds a symbolic object. Their robes fold in sharp lines around their feet. Jacques Callot made this print around 1632. He used fine needles to scratch lines into metal, then filled them with ink. The style feels crisp and precise. Look up the artist Jacques Callot.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
