Saint Hyacinth Walking on the Waters
1599
Francesco Vanni captures a miraculous moment where Saint Hyacinth strides confidently across water, seemingly defying gravity with divine ease. This dynamic sketch uses fluid brown ink washes to create movement, contrasting the solid saint against a dreamy cityscape and floating celestial figures above. It feels less like a stiff religious icon and more like a snapshot of a supernatural event in progress.
