Gian Fritello and Ciurlo is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two odd-looking guys in a weird scene. One has huge wings and a long coat, holding a scythe. The other is a wild-haired man with big wings too, running with a sword. Around them, small figures scurry like they’re scared or running away. The names under the picture—*Gian Fritello* and *Ciurlo*—sound like characters from a story. This print uses sharp lines to show movement and drama, which was a big deal back then. Want to know more? Check out etching to see how artists like this made prints.
