Portret van de Augustijn en kardinaal Girolamo Seripando 1636

This engraving by Cornelis Galle I, dated 1636, depicts Girolamo Seripando, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church. Seripando was a cardinal, Archbishop of Salerno, and a leading figure at the Council of Trent. The artwork's intricate frame and the inscription below Seripando's portrait provide details about his life and accomplishments. The portrait itself is a fine example of 17th-century engraving and provides a realistic depiction of the subject, a testament to Galle I's skill as an artist. This small but detailed work offers a glimpse into the lives of religious leaders and the important events of the Reformation.
