H. Hubertus 1614

"H. Hubertus" (1614) by Nicolaes de Bruyn is a black and white etching that depicts the story of Saint Hubertus. The image shows Saint Hubertus kneeling in the forest as a stag with a crucifix between its antlers appears to him. This encounter is said to have led to Hubertus converting to Christianity. The etching also features a horse, hounds, and a landscape setting, common in Dutch and Flemish art of the 17th century. The scene is rendered with great detail, showcasing de Bruyn's mastery of etching techniques. This piece is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
