This small etching by Johann Sadeler I, created between 1595 and 1600, depicts the Polish Saint Hyacinth reviving a man. The scene is set outdoors with a backdrop of a grassy hill and a fence. The saint stands on the left, robed in a long, flowing gown, as he reaches out to a man lying on the ground. A woman kneels beside the man, holding his shoulder. The image, titled "Heilige Hyacinthus van Polen ontmoet een liggende man," is a powerful testament to the saint's divine powers. Sadeler's meticulous attention to detail creates a compelling visual narrative, captivating viewers with its religious imagery and masterful use of light and shadow.
