"Den hellige Vilhelm af Aquitanien" is a 16th-century print by Flemish artist Hieronymus Wierix, depicting Saint William of Aquitaine reclining in a chair. The work, created between 1553 and 1619, showcases Wierix's mastery of engraving, capturing the saint's repose with delicate lines and subtle shading. This small-scale print, measuring 137 mm by 91 mm, demonstrates the detail and artistry possible within a limited format. The print is now held in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), Copenhagen, Denmark, and is a testament to Wierix's enduring legacy as a prolific and skilled printmaker.
