Assault on the Outer Forts of Bone is a 1614 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a chaotic scene of battle, with numerous figures engaged in combat. The soldiers are armed with swords, shields, and other weapons, while some are shown falling or being struck down. In the background, a fortification is visible, with people fleeing or fighting on its walls. A notable detail in the image is the use of cross-hatching, a technique that creates a sense of texture and depth. This technique is evident in the rendering of the soldiers' clothing and the fortification's walls. To learn more about the artist behind this engraving, explore the works of Callot, Jacques.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
