Heilige Salomon van Antinoë after 1636

This etching, "Heilige Salomon van Antinoë", by Dutch artist Frederick Bloemaert (1610-unknown) depicts Saint Solomon of Antinoö. Created after 1636, the work showcases a dynamic composition with the Saint kneeling before a cross while clutching another small cross in his hand. The scene, set in a humble, rustic environment, underscores the saint's devotion. This work is a testament to Bloemaert's skill in capturing the essence of religious imagery and conveys the artist's talent for detailed rendering, evident in the meticulous depiction of the saint's clothing and the rough-hewn surroundings. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable example of Dutch Baroque art.
