H. Philippus in gebed op de Monte Senario 1591

"H. Philippus in gebed op de Monte Senario" (1591) is an etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta. Depicting a scene of prayer, the artwork shows a monk kneeling in a wooded landscape. The monk’s position, with hands clasped in prayer, evokes a sense of devotion. The surrounding foliage, rendered with detailed hatching, reinforces the sense of solitude and connection to nature. Tempesta's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene. This small yet powerful etching demonstrates the artist's talent for capturing the essence of religious piety.
