Entry of Monseigneur Henry de Lorraine, Marquis de Moy, under the Name of Pirandre is a 1627 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a crowded street scene from 1627. Two men ride white horses in front, followed by footmen and a carriage. Everyone wears fancy ruffled collars and hats. This is an etching, a print made by scratching lines into metal. Callot used drypoint here—he dragged a sharp needle across the plate to make fuzzy edges that catch the eye. Check out how he packs the scene with tiny details. It feels alive. Look up Callot, Jacques next.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
