Boarding of the Bertone is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two ships in rough water. The bigger ship is being boarded by smaller boats full of people. Waves crash around them, and the sails are tangled in the wind. The artist used sharp lines to show the chaos of the battle at sea. The text below names the ships and the fight. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made prints.
