Ciconia (Paschalis) is a 1598 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image is an engraving of a man in a circular frame, with a dark background and ornate details. The man is wearing a hat and a cloak, and has his arms crossed. The frame is decorated with text and symbols, including a cross and a pair of wings. The engraving is done in a detailed and intricate style, with fine lines and shading that give the image depth and texture. The use of cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. This engraving is a great example of the Renaissance style, with its attention to detail and use of symbolism. To learn more about this style, check out the Renaissance movement.
