Studietijd van de heilige Dominicus 1611

This 1611 engraving by Theodoor Galle depicts a scene from the life of Saint Dominic, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church. The work is titled *Studietijd van de heilige Dominicus,* which translates to "Study time of Saint Dominic." The engraving depicts a young Dominic receiving a book while standing on a street corner, surrounded by other figures. The scene is likely a symbolic representation of the importance of study and contemplation in Dominican life. The engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a good example of the detailed and realistic style typical of the Northern Renaissance.
