Entry of His Highness, Representing the Sun is a 1627 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two busy scenes with lots of people and fancy decorations. The top scene has a group of figures in a parade, pulling a giant, sun-like platform with rays shooting out. Below, another group struggles to move a heavy, curved object, while musicians play and people watch. The title hints this is about the "Sun" as a symbol, not just a real event. The artist used lines to create shadows and texture, making everything look detailed and dramatic. Check out how this was made using etching.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
