In a 16th-century engraving by Maarten de Vos, Saint Simon is seen preaching to a large group of people in an open courtyard. Standing on a platform with arms outstretched, Simon captivates the audience. Many listeners wear ornate robes and hold scrolls or books. In the background, a building with arched windows and columns adds to the scenes grandeur. The intricate detail in the artwork highlights the artists skill in depicting light and shadow.
