Piazza del Duomo, Florence is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a busy square with a tall, narrow tower on the right and a crowd of people walking or gathering below. In the foreground, a woman in a wide skirt and hat stands alone, looking down at the scene. The buildings are simple, with some doors and windows visible, and the whole image is drawn in fine, precise lines. The artist used a technique that lets them scratch lines into metal plates instead of painting. This creates sharp, detailed images like this one. Look up etching to see how artists make prints this way.
