Heiligen 1800 - 1833

"Heiligen" is a colorful print made by Philippus Jacobus Brepols between 1800 and 1833, currently held in the Rijksmuseum. This print features a grid of twenty-five circular images, each containing a depiction of a saint. The roundels are bordered by thin black lines, making them visually distinct from the surrounding white background. The saints are depicted in varying poses, often holding symbolic objects and wearing elaborate garments. The overall impression is one of devotional reverence, highlighting the importance of these figures in the Catholic faith. These images likely served as visual aids in religious instruction or as devotional pieces for private contemplation.
