This engraving by Thomas de Leu, dating back to 1598, depicts Saint Jodocus of Ponthieu as a hermit. The artwork showcases the saint kneeling in prayer before a small wooden chapel, while another chapel is visible in the background. A caption at the bottom of the image reads, "Anglica regna Patris fugieus IODOCUS in annis Exstruxit propria bina Sacella manu," which translates to "Fleeing his father, Jodocus built two chapels with his own hands." De Leu's meticulous detail and the contrasting light and shade create a sense of solemnity and devotion, highlighting the life of the saint.
