Sts. Chrysanthus & Daria; Sts. Crispin & Crispinian; St. Evaristus; St. Frumentius is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows four small scenes inside oval frames. Each picture has two or three figures dressed in old-fashioned robes. One scene shows a man kneeling while another stands beside him. Another has two men working at a bench with tools. The backgrounds are simple, with buildings or trees, and the lines are sharp and detailed. The images are all labeled with names like "St. Crispin" and "St. Evaristus," which suggests they’re religious stories. The artist used a method that creates fine, textured lines—this is key to what makes the work look so precise. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these crisp, layered images.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
