Heilige Magna als kluizenares 1590 - 1662

This engraving, created by an anonymous artist between 1590 and 1662, depicts the holy hermit Magna in a state of contemplation, likely meditating on the sacrifice of Christ. The image shows her seated in a dark, austere room, her gaze fixed on a crucifix, and her hands holding a rosary. Magna's posture and contemplative expression suggest a deep devotion. This small work, measuring just 142 mm in height and 96 mm in width, is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the impact of religious art on its viewers.
