Note
There are close engravings of the same subject and in the same direction by Jacques Granthomme (b. 1560?) and Thomas de Leu (1560-1612). Yet, like the feather mosaic, the Cool engraving shows a cross over the papal miter and a column with a many-layered pedestal behind the saint. Neither the Granthomme nor the de Leu engraving shows any of this.
