H. Romula en H. Redempta 1565 - 1630

This etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created between 1565 and 1630, depicts the figures of Saint Romula and Saint Redempta. The composition features the two figures standing within an oval frame adorned with ornate flourishes. Their robes are finely detailed, adding to the sense of realism in the piece. The figures' placement and facial expressions suggest a scene of devotion and contemplation, reflecting the piety of the time. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of the artistic style prevalent in the 16th and 17th centuries.
