Heilige Ammon after 1636

"Heilige Ammon" is an etching by Dutch artist Frederick Bloemaert, dating after 1636. It depicts the Saint Ammon, a figure from Christian tradition, in a contemplative pose, seated within a humble dwelling. The figure is rendered with intricate detail, his long robe and beard meticulously etched. In the background, a cross appears, a symbol of faith, while a dog, possibly his companion, sits beside him. The work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Bloemaert's mastery of etching and his interest in depicting religious figures.
