Groep heiligen op wolken 1735 - 1800

This etching, "Groep heiligen op wolken," by Giovanni Cattini depicts a group of saints sitting on clouds. The artist, Giovanni Cattini, was active from 1715 to 1800. The etching is part of a series that focused on religious themes. The image is notable for the use of hatching, which creates depth and texture, a common technique used in etching. The small size of the etching (64mm x 57mm) would suggest it was likely a private or devotional piece, meant for personal contemplation rather than public display.
