Bedelmonnik Philippus de Rebaldis after 1576

This is a 16th century engraving of Bedelmonnik Philippus de Rebaldis. The anonymous artist created a detailed portrait of the religious figure in profile, holding a basket in one hand and a rosary in the other. The engraving shows him in his habit, and the artist has used shadow and light to depict the texture of his garments and the rough terrain on which he walks. The text below the image provides information about the Bedelmonnik's life, describing him as a man of "simplicity and austerity" who dedicated his life to helping the poor.
