The Guardian Angel; St. Simplici; St. Cunegundes; St. Luci is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows four small, oval etchings. The first has an angel and a child by a tree. The second depicts a bishop-like figure with a tall hat and a building behind him. The third shows a crowned woman in flowing robes. The fourth has a bishop holding a sword, with a smaller figure beside him. Notice the tiny buildings and clouds in the backgrounds—these details make the scenes feel like small, busy worlds. The lines are sharp and precise, typical of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these images.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
