Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2013. 28cm., pbk., 146pp. illus. Summary: Acclaimed French printmaker Jacques Callot (1592-1635) trained in Italy and later worked as a court artist for Cosimo II de' Medici in Florence. Callot revolutionised printmaking by developing the process of hardground etching, and he applied his technical skills to depicting the world around him. The extraordinary etchings featured in this book testify to Callot's mastery of sacred and profane imagery. The authors delve into Callot's techniques and subjects, ranging from humorous scenes inspired by commedia dell'arte to noble feasts, biblical events and even the horrors of war. They also explore how the artist used characters from opposite ends of society to expose the complexities and injustices of his time.
