H. Vincent de Paul 1821

This engraving, created in 1821 by Philippus Velijn, depicts Saint Vincent de Paul, a Catholic priest known for his charitable work. The scene shows him tending to a sick child, while another figure in the background gestures towards a building. Velijn's meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of the figures, along with the serene background, contribute to the work's powerful depiction of Saint Vincent de Paul's devotion to helping the needy. The engraving, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Velijn's skill in capturing the essence of religious figures through the medium of printmaking.
