Sts. Vitus, Modestus, & Crescentia; Sts. Julitta & Quiricus; St. Avitus, Abbot; St. Elizabeth, Virgin is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval etchings. The top left has a group of people around a winged figure holding a cross. The top right shows a woman in robes handing something to a man with a spear. The bottom left depicts a man under a tree with a child and a dog. The bottom right features a woman in a long dress holding a staff, standing near a building. Each scene feels busy but precise, with sharp lines and shadows. The figures look like saints, but the artist didn’t soften the details—everything is clear and slightly dramatic. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these sharp lines.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
