This etching by Pieter de Bailliu, created between 1623 and 1660, depicts Saint Albertus Magnus and Saint Thomas Aquinas, two prominent figures in the Catholic Church. The detailed engravings emphasize the religious fervor and intellectual prowess of the two saints, with Saint Albertus standing majestically and Saint Thomas kneeling in prayer. This engraving, a testament to de Bailliu's skill, reflects the Baroque style of the period, characterized by dramatic realism and attention to detail.
