Verschillende heiligen in een landschap 1628

This 1628 engraving by Cornelis Galle I, titled "Verschillende heiligen in een landschap", depicts various saints amidst a landscape. It serves as the frontispiece for a book titled "Vitae Patrum: De Vita et Verbis Seniorum, sive Historie Eremitice Libri X". The artwork features a diverse array of figures, including a bearded God holding a book and a naked man holding a hammer, both seated atop a rocky landscape. The scene also includes several other figures, some of whom are identified with haloes. The figures are arranged around a central banner bearing the title of the book. This print, now held in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Galle's skilled rendering of religious figures and scenes.
