St. Thomas Aquin; St. Adrian and Companions; St. Frances; St. Macari is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small oval etchings, each with a robed figure in the center. The top left has a bearded man kneeling, holding a book, with a church behind him. The top right shows a soldier lifting a cross while others watch. The bottom left depicts a woman in a veil holding a candle, with a child next to her. The bottom right features a bishop-like figure holding a tall cross. The figures are labeled with names like "St. Thomas Aquinas" and "St. Adrian." The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, giving the scenes a dramatic feel. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
