Heilige Agnes 1583 - 1587

"Heilige Agnes" is an engraving created by Johann Sadeler I, a prominent engraver from the late 16th century, between 1583 and 1587. The artwork depicts Saint Agnes, a Christian martyr, seated calmly with a lamb at her feet, while in the background a scene of her martyrdom unfolds. The detailed composition and skillful use of light and shadow are characteristic of Sadeler's artistic style, reflecting the influence of the Northern Renaissance. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
