Heilige Theonas van Oxyrynchum after 1636

"Heilige Theonas van Oxyrynchum" is an etching created by Frederick Bloemaert after 1636. The print depicts Theonas of Alexandria, a 3rd century saint who was known for his miracles. Here, he is seen giving water to a deer and a dog. The scene is set in a pastoral landscape, with trees and a building in the background. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and volume, while the figures are drawn with great detail. Bloemaert was a prominent Dutch artist known for his religious works and etchings. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
