H. Engelmundus van Engeland 1607 - 1631

This engraving by Jacob Matham, created between 1607 and 1631, depicts Saint Engelmundus of England, a Benedictine abbot known for his miracles. Saint Engelmundus is shown holding a book and a staff, with a halo behind his head, while standing before a church. The etching style is a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age, highlighting detail and religious imagery. The inscription beneath him provides historical information about his life and miracles. This small etching is a testament to Matham's skill in conveying religious narratives within a detailed and elegant composition. The image is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
