The Martyrdom of the Apostles: St. James the Less

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a scene depicting the martyrdom of a man. The scene is set outdoors with a large building in the background, featuring columns and an archway. A man is shown being thrown down steps by several people. Another man stands at the bottom of the steps, looking up. A third man lies on the ground. At the top of the image, a cloud with an angel and rays of light is visible. The text at the bottom of the image reads "M.B Iac.Minoris Appos." The overall style is detailed and intricate, suggesting it is an old engraving.
