Men Fighting in a Landscape is a 1638 ink by Ercole Bazicaluva, a Baroque work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two men fighting in a chaotic outdoor scene. One grabs the other’s arm while both twist in rough poses. Trees and a rocky hill fill the background. The artist, Ercole Bazicaluva, worked in mid-1600s Rome. His prints often mix drama with scratchy, nervous lines. This one feels raw, like a snapshot of a sudden fight. Look up Bazicaluva, Ercole to see more of his bold, scratchy etchings.
Ercole Bazzicaluva, also spelled Bezzicaluva or Bazzicaluve (active 1640), was an Italian engraver of the Baroque period.
