The Vision of Saint Bernard is a 1524 ink by Dirk Jacobsz Vellert, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows two figures kneeling in front of a fancy arch. On the left, a woman holds a baby while pointing upward. To the right, a robed man kneels with his hands together, looking down. Behind them, a detailed building with columns and a dome appears in the distance. The woman’s face looks calm, but the man’s posture shows deep focus. The date "1524" is written in the top corner, and the whole scene feels like a sacred moment. Next, check out how this was made using engraving.
