Heilige Marana van Syrië en heilige Cyra als kluizenaressen met ketenen 1590 - 1619

This engraving, "Heilige Marana van Syrië en heilige Cyra als kluizenaressen met ketenen" (Holy Marana of Syria and Holy Cyra as hermits with chains), was created by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert between 1590 and 1619. The print depicts the two saints, Marana and Cyra, kneeling in prayer and bound by chains, signifying their devotion and hardship. The composition is simple, highlighting the figures in the foreground against a backdrop of trees and a thatched hut, creating a sense of isolation and contemplation. The engraving is a fine example of the artist's skilled depiction of religious figures and detailed rendering of textures. This artwork can be found at the Rijksmuseum.
