Bernardo is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a man kneeling under a tree, holding a bow and arrow pointed at a group of soldiers on horseback. The soldiers wear helmets and armor, and one is on the ground, while others look on. In the background, a crowd of small, ghostly figures floats above a hill. The text at the bottom reads about Bernardo being saved by Maria. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the scene feel dramatic. Look up engraving to see how artists like Callot built depth with just ink and paper.
