The Martyrdom of the Apostles: St. Thomas

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black-and-white etching of a chaotic scene depicting a martyrdom. The scene is set in an architectural setting with columns, arches, and a central doorway. A figure sits on clouds at the top center. Multiple figures are present, some on the ground, and others standing. Some figures are armed. The text "M.B. Thoma Appos" appears at the bottom. The image has a border with a textured background.
