The Triumph of Saint Ursula in Heaven and the Roman Conquerors is a 1631 ink by Alfonso Parigi II, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a grand stage set with tall columns and a fancy ceiling. Below it, a group of people in old-fashioned clothes dance and move in a line. The sky above them is filled with clouds and swirling shapes. The title at the bottom calls it a "triumph," which likely means a big celebration. The artist used lines to create depth and drama, making the scene look three-dimensional. Want to know more? Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
