This etching by Simon (II) Guillain depicts the miracle of Saint Juan Diego rescuing a child from an oven. The scene shows the saint reaching into a fiery oven to save a child, while another man looks on in astonishment. The work, dated 1646, was likely intended to be devotional in nature, emphasizing the miraculous nature of the saint. Guillain was a Flemish artist known for his detailed etchings, and this work exemplifies his skill in depicting both the human figure and the dramatic lighting of the scene.
