Heilige Apollonius van Nitria after 1636

This etching, created after 1636 by Dutch artist Frederick Bloemaert, depicts Saint Apollonius of Nitria. The image shows the saint, dressed in a long robe, tending to a fire in a simple room. A crucifix hangs on the wall, signifying his faith. This print, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the popularity of saintly imagery during the 17th century and showcases Bloemaert's detailed etching style, conveying both the humility and the devotional spirit of the saint.
