Name of Jesus c. 17th century

Editor: Here we have Jacques Callot's miniature print, "Name of Jesus". It's incredibly detailed, almost like looking into another world. There's a bishop and an angel exchanging something near the 'IHS' symbol. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It feels like a divine transaction, doesn't it? Callot masterfully uses the small space to express something truly monumental. The angel, almost urgent, and the bishop, somber, thoughtful. Perhaps it's about the dissemination of faith. What does it spark in you? Editor: Hmm, it definitely brings to mind a sharing of knowledge, but maybe also a struggle with faith? That bishop looks a bit hesitant! I appreciate how compact yet complex this small print is. Curator: Precisely! Callot reminds us that even within constraints, immense stories can unfold. It is wonderful how such a small artwork can spark such big ideas.
