Discovery of the Criminal Soldiers is a 1633 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
Jacques Callot shows a line of soldiers being questioned in front of a small wooden table. One man sits behind the table while others stand, some with hats on. The soldiers wear long coats and tall hats. A crowd watches from the background. This etching uses fine lines to show details like soldiers’ faces and clothes. Callot often made prints about war and its effects. The scene feels tense even though no one is fighting. Check out more works by Callot at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
