Saint Arno, Bishop of Metz – 17th Century French Engraving
This original 17th-century engraving depicts Saint Arno (Arnulf) of Metz, a prominent 7th-century Frankish bishop and saint, shown bust-length within an oval frame. He wears episcopal robes with a richly ornamented mitre, and his pectoral cross is clearly visible. Below the portrait is a cartouche inscribed with Latin text summarising his ecclesiastical role and death in 640 AD (note: the engraving reads 636).
Saint Arnulf of Metz (c. 582–640) was a nobleman who became bishop of Metz around 614. Renowned for his wisdom, charity, and piety, he retired as a hermit near Remiremont, where he died. He is also notable in European royal history as an ancestor of the Carolingian dynasty, including Charlemagne. This engraving was published in Paris by Daumont, Rue St. Martin, as indicated in the lower margin. It exemplifies the crisp line engraving and portrait format typical of French devotional prints of the period, intended for private devotion or clerical biographical collections.
