Vijf heiligen after 1622

"Vijf heiligen" is an engraving by Flemish artist Michael Snijders created after 1622. The artwork depicts five saints, including St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Philip Neri, who are gathered below a shining dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. Snijders' detailed rendering of the saints and the surrounding landscape, along with the use of light and shadow, create a powerful and evocative scene, typical of Baroque art. The engraving's small size, measuring just 99 mm in height and 63 mm in width, suggests its intended use as a devotional print.
