Heilige Peregrine Laziosi c. 1717 - 1770

This engraving, *Heilige Peregrine Laziosi* by Johann Christoph Winkler, depicts Saint Peregrine Laziosi, seated, surrounded by symbols of his life and martyrdom. The image is a typical example of a 17th-century religious engraving. Winkler was an Austrian artist, born in 1701, who specialized in devotional prints, many of which depicted saints. The engraving also contains imagery of the crucifixion of Christ, the symbol of a cross, and other religious iconography, highlighting the veneration of the saint and the role of faith in Christian belief. The inscription at the bottom states the saint's famous words, "If you want, you can be healed." This imagery would have resonated with viewers in the 1700s and continues to hold relevance to religious audiences today.
