Heilige Candida en heilige Gelasia als kluizenaressen met engel 1644

This engraving by Christoffel van Sichem, titled "Heilige Candida en heilige Gelasia als kluizenaressen met engel," depicts two female saints, Candida and Gelasia, in a contemplative setting. The figures are depicted as hermits, with Candida kneeling in prayer and Gelasia reading a book. An angel with large wings stands behind them, adding a celestial element to the scene. Created in 1644, the artwork is a fine example of the detailed and realistic style of engraving practiced during the Baroque period. The composition, lighting, and expressive details bring a sense of reverence and spirituality to the scene. The engraving is a testament to Sichem's skill and the enduring power of religious imagery in art.
