Drie heiligen en zeemonsters c. 1580 - 1630

"Drie heiligen en zeemonsters" (Three Saints and Sea Monsters) is a small engraving by Leonardo Parasole, a 17th century Italian artist. The image depicts three saints standing in a landscape, likely overlooking the sea, with several sea monsters swimming in the turbulent waters. The artwork, measuring only 100 mm by 120 mm, showcases Parasole's detailed engraving style, particularly evident in the rendering of the saints' clothing and the churning waves. The scene likely represents a religious narrative with a focus on the divine intervention in the face of danger, highlighting the power of faith.
