1627
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
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.
This drawing shows a giant bird flying low over water, carrying a crowd of people on its back. The bird’s wings are spread wide, and its feathers look like wind-blown waves. The people inside the bird’s body are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, some holding hands or waving. The bird’s belly is cut open like a boat, revealing the passengers inside. This isn’t a real scene—it’s a fancy way to show someone arriving in style, like a king or a hero. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
