H. Felicula en H. Petronilla 1565 - 1630

Antonio Tempesta's "H. Felicula en H. Petronilla" (1565-1630) is an etching depicting two kneeling female saints, Felicula and Petronilla, within an ornate oval frame. Above them, two angels fly with crowns, adding a celestial element to the scene. The detailed inscription below each saint identifies them, emphasizing their status as virtuous figures. The composition of the print is balanced, with the saints and angels arranged in a symmetrical, harmonious design. This etching is typical of Tempesta's works, which often depicted religious subjects and historical scenes with a high level of detail and realism.
