Anger is a 1621 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a muscular man holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. A lion crouches at his feet, and two birds fly above him. The man’s face is serious, almost angry, with a helmet tucked under his arm. The word "Ira" (Latin for "anger") is written below, hinting this image stands for the emotion itself. The rough, sketchy lines suggest movement and energy. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
