Pandora is a 1625 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a dramatic scene with a naked woman blowing a trumpet in the foreground. Behind her, a chaotic sky swirls with clouds shaped like faces and hands, while a distant city burns. Trees and figures add to the frenzy, but she stands calm, her pose confident. The artist used sharp lines to create movement and tension, almost like a sketch come to life. This style fits the Baroque era’s love for drama and emotion. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot carved images into metal plates.
