Saint Dominic 1577 - 1587

"Saint Dominic" is an engraving by Johann Sadeler I, a prominent Northern Renaissance printmaker, created between 1577 and 1587. The print depicts Saint Dominic, a revered Catholic figure, with a halo, a star on his chest, and a book in his hand. He is positioned in a room, holding a quill and a piece of parchment. The image also features lilies, representing purity, which are often associated with Saint Dominic. This engraving, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into Sadeler's artistic skill and his fascination with religious iconography.
