Twee monniken en de Heilige Hyacinthus van Polen 1595 - 1600

This small-scale engraving by Johann Sadeler I, dating back to 1595-1600, depicts the escape of two monks with the Holy Sacrament and an image of the Virgin Mary, fleeing the Tartars. This scene, likely inspired by a historical event, showcases Sadeler’s talent for detail and the dramatic use of light and shadow. The print, only 38 mm high and 44 mm wide, demonstrates the refined craftsmanship common in Renaissance engravings.
