Andrea Procaccini's etching, "St. Vincent Ferrer", depicts the saint with feathered wings, holding a book. The detail and shading give the artwork a sense of realism. The inscription below the image reads "Quasi alterű Angelű volante," which translates to "like another flying angel." This engraving, created sometime between 1671 and 1734, showcases the Baroque style popular during this period. Its subject matter highlights the reverence of religious figures in art, providing a glimpse into the history of religious iconography.
