H. Marcus en paus Gregorius I in de wolken 1621 - 1694

This etching by Dutch artist Antoine Garnier (1611-1694) depicts Pope Gregory I and the monk H. Marcus in the clouds, created between 1621 and 1694. The image is notable for its detailed depiction of the figures' garments, particularly Pope Gregory I's elaborate papal robes and H. Marcus's simple monastic habit, both rendered with fine hatching and cross-hatching techniques. This detailed artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Garnier's mastery in etching and provides a glimpse into the visual representations of religious figures in 17th-century Dutch art.
