Heilige Dominicus Loricatus als kluizenaar 1594

This engraving by Johann Sadeler I, created in 1594, depicts Saint Dominic Loricatus as a hermit in a forest setting. The figure stands barefoot, clothed in a long robe, with his arms crossed. He holds a staff and appears to be in deep thought. The engraving's detailed depiction of the natural world and the figure's introspective pose conveys the themes of solitude and contemplation. This work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Sadeler's mastery of the engraving technique and his ability to convey religious themes in a visually compelling manner.
