"Episode 13: In Prato Saint Bernardino heals a boy attacked by a bull; Episode 14: In Bologna Saint Bernardino orders the burning of luxury books and paints the sign of Christ for a gambler; Episode 15: Saint Bernardino travels to Mantua by foot," is an etching by Bernardino Capitelli from his series, "The Life of Saint Bernardino of Siena," and is a depiction of three separate events in the saint's life. The scene is crowded and busy, showing a gathering of people in the foreground. The etching is characteristic of Capitelli's detailed style, and its focus on the religious events and figures from the saint's life. Created between 1610 and 1639, the etching is a fine example of the Baroque style of printmaking, known for its dramatic use of light and shadow.
