Lionardo is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the image, a man stands on the left, gesturing towards a pedestal with a bust on it. He wears a long robe and has short hair. To the right, three men sit on a bench, looking at the pedestal. The background is dark, with a wall featuring a large column and a decorative element above the pedestal. The scene is rendered in a detailed, high-contrast style, with intricate lines and shading. The overall mood is one of contemplation and reverence. This engraving is reminiscent of the work of artist Callot, Jacques.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
