St. Theodosius; St. Tatiana; St. Hilary; St. Felix is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sheet holds four small religious scenes, each framed in an oval. The top left shows a robed monk handing something to a kneeling man by a tree. The top right has a woman in a long dress standing beside two lions. The bottom left features a bishop holding a staff, standing on a rocky shore. The bottom right depicts a bright sky with a winged figure above a shipwrecked scene. Notice the tiny details: the lions’ calm expressions, the bishop’s staff, or the shipwreck’s scattered wreckage. These images were made using a technique that carves into metal plates. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot created these sharp lines.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
