Ciomus de kluizenaar 1583 - 1588

"Ciomus de kluizenaar" is an engraving by Johann Sadeler I, a prominent artist known for his detailed depictions of religious figures and landscapes, created between 1583 and 1588. The print depicts a cloaked hermit, possibly Ciomus, standing near a simple dwelling in a wooded setting. The hermit holds a staff and rosary, symbolizing his devoutness. The distant church in the background suggests a life of contemplation and solitude. The composition, with its detailed rendering of the figures and the surrounding landscape, exemplifies Sadeler's mastery of the engraving technique. The print can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
