Il Capitano, or L'Innamorato is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a tall, dramatic figure in old-fashioned clothes, standing confidently with one hand on his hip and the other holding a feathered hat. Behind him, there are two small scenes of crowded streets with people watching. The buildings look old, with simple windows and balconies. The figure’s exaggerated size and bold pose make him stand out against the smaller background scenes. This style was meant to grab attention and tell a story without words. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
