Spiritus sanctus Deus is a 1894 ink by Charles-Marie Dulac, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet, windswept landscape with a lone tree clinging to a rocky cliff. The sky is soft and pale, blending into the muted browns and tans of the earth. Below, the ground looks rough and uneven, with patches of grass and shadow. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to suggest movement in the tree’s branches, as if caught in a gust. The whole scene feels calm but alive, like a moment frozen in time. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
