The Annunciation; St. Castulus; St. Rupert; St. Gontran is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval etchings arranged in two rows. Each scene features religious figures in old-fashioned robes. The top left depicts an angel speaking to a woman indoors, while the top right shows a bearded man holding a staff. The bottom left has a bishop-like figure blessing a kneeling person, and the bottom right shows a crowned man with two others in a doorway. These images are all labeled with saints’ names, like *St. Castulus* and *St. Rupert*. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the scenes look three-dimensional. 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.
