This etching, "Heilige Ammonius de Grote", by Frederick Bloemaert, depicts a biblical scene. The figures, Ammonius and Nitriota, are kneeling in prayer, with the landscape behind them indicating their rural setting. The work was completed after 1636 and is part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The artist used hatching and cross-hatching techniques to create the detail and tonal variations in this print. The etching style and subject matter are reminiscent of Northern Renaissance prints.
