Martino is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a chaotic scene of a wounded man on the ground, surrounded by armed soldiers. The soldiers are pushing and shoving him, some holding swords and spears. The man on the ground looks exhausted, clutching his side while others seem to ignore his pain. The image is packed with movement and drama, using sharp lines to create tension. The text at the bottom is in Italian, hinting at a story about suffering and survival. Next, check out how engraving works to see how artists like this create such detailed scenes.
