Miraculeuze genezing van een bedlegerige patient door de Heilige Hyacinthus van Polen 1595 - 1600

This small engraving by Johann Sadeler I, created between 1595 and 1600, depicts the miraculous healing of a bedridden patient by Saint Hyacinth of Poland. The scene shows a woman lying in bed, while a haloed Saint Hyacinth appears in the clouds above her, reaching out to her with a hand gesture of blessing. This small-scale work, measuring just 40 mm by 45 mm, exemplifies the popular practice of depicting religious narratives in print during the 16th and 17th centuries, serving as a visual testament to the power of faith and the intercession of saints.
