From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Dedication to Don Lorenzo de' Medici is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a small, framed piece with black ink on light paper. The words are fancy and swirly, packed tight in rows. There’s a big letter "L" in the corner with a crown above it. The top says "Don Lorenzo Medici" in bold letters. The rest is a long message in Italian, signed by someone named Callot. The paper looks old and textured, like it was made by hand long ago. This kind of writing was used to send greetings or dedicate work to powerful people. Want to know more? Try looking up etching.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
