Heilige Johannicius van Bithynië als kluizenaar 1598

This 1598 engraving by Johann Sadeler I depicts Saint John the Baptist as a hermit, praying inside a cave. The scene is set amidst a rocky landscape with a town in the distance. The artist's use of fine detail and skillful rendering of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism, emphasizing the solitude and devotion of the subject. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable example of Sadeler's mastery of the engraving technique and his contribution to religious art.
