H. Agnes 1759

"H. Agnes" is an engraving created by Robert Strange in 1759. The artwork depicts Saint Agnes, a Christian martyr, holding a palm branch and standing with a lamb and a cherub who is placing a crown of martyrdom upon her head. The print is an example of Neoclassical art, a style that emerged in the 18th century and emphasized clarity, order, and rationality in art. The work is a fine example of the artist's technique, which was renowned for its delicacy and precision. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, while the meticulous detail in the drapery and the figures' expressions adds to the artwork's overall impact.
