Warriors, Courtiers, and Saints: The Etchings of Jacques Callot

Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University

NOW CLOSED

Etcher Jacques Callot (1592–1635) revolutionized French printmaking in the 17th century. During his brief career, Callot developed a distinctively light and fluid style to naturalistically depict violent and divisive subjects. The 39 prints in this installation indicate how the political, economic, and social fallout of Europe’s devastating Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648) shaped Callot’s times and influenced his art.
