Heilige Hendrik van Cocket als kluizenaar 1598

Johann Sadeler I’s 1598 engraving, *Heilige Hendrik van Cocket als kluizenaar*, depicts Saint Henry of Cocket, a hermit known for his piety and devotion to God, in a serene and mountainous landscape. The composition features Saint Henry kneeling in prayer, his gaze fixed on a glowing halo above his head, as he clutches a rosary. The background offers a sweeping vista of rolling hills, a distant village, and a winding river, creating a sense of peace and isolation. The intricate details of the trees, rocks, and animals contribute to the work’s realism, highlighting the natural world’s role in Saint Henry’s spiritual journey. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of solitude and faith.
