Heilige Dioscorus van Nitria after 1636

This etching by Frederick Bloemaert, created after 1636, depicts Saint Dioscorus of Nitria kneeling in prayer. The saint is depicted in a landscape setting with a thatched roof hut in the background. The image features a strong use of light and shadow, with a beam of light emanating from above, illuminating the saint's face. The etching is a fine example of Bloemaert's work, which often featured religious subjects and a meticulous attention to detail. This small, but detailed etching is housed in the Rijksmuseum.
