Ignatius op weg naar Venetië 1610

"Ignatius op weg naar Venetië" (1610) is an engraving by Cornelis Galle I that depicts scenes from the life of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The print is divided into three sections, each depicting a different episode. In the first, Saint Ignatius is seen receiving a vision of Christ on the road to Venice. The second depicts Saint Ignatius in a room, surrounded by figures, while the third shows Saint Ignatius sleeping in a chair. The use of light and shadow creates depth and drama in the composition, while the detailed depiction of figures and architecture is characteristic of Galle's style. The engraving was likely intended to be devotional and to serve as a visual representation of the life and miracles of Saint Ignatius.
