This engraving, "Heilige Geneviève trekt het bos", created by Philips Galle around 1575-1600, depicts Saint Genevieve fleeing from a group of people. The landscape is a prominent feature, with a detailed depiction of trees, hills, and a village in the distance. The figures are smaller in scale, creating a sense of depth and emphasizing the vastness of the setting. The artwork is a striking example of the use of engraving to represent a religious story, and it reflects the typical Dutch landscape art of the period.
