Cap. Cardoni and Maramao is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two muscular men fighting in a small town square. One wears a feathered helmet and holds a long stick, while the other swings a club. Buildings line the background, and a crowd of people watches from the sides. The artist used sharp lines to show the fighters’ muscles and movements. The scene looks like a street brawl, but it’s actually a playful take on a famous myth. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
