Sts. Philoteus and Theotimus; St. Leonard; St. Florentinus; St. Godfrey is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small scenes, each framed like a window. The top left has two robed men standing under a bright sky, one holding a cross. The top right shows a man kneeling beside a bed, with a tree outside. The bottom left features a saint with a deer and a dog, standing under another tree. The bottom right depicts a man handing something to a sick person in a dim room. Each scene is labeled with a saint’s name, and the artist used sharp lines to tell the stories. The images look like they were carved into metal instead of painted. Next, check out how the technique: etching works.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
