Piazza del Duomo, Florence is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a busy square packed with people walking, talking, and gathering. On the left stands a giant statue of a robed figure with a wide-brimmed hat, dwarfing the crowd. In the background, grand buildings with domes and tall towers frame the scene, while a long staircase leads up to a church. The artist used sharp lines and hatching to show light and shadow, giving the scene a lively but slightly ghostly feel. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, check out how this artist used the technique: etching.
