Fisher of Men is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a man standing on the shore, gazing out at a group of people in boats. The man is dressed in robes and has a gentle expression on his face. In the foreground, a crowd of people is gathered, some of whom are looking up at the man. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a calm sea, with several boats visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of peace and tranquility. This painting is a beautiful example of the Baroque style, characterized by its use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and emotion.
