Piazza SS. Annunziata, Florence is a 1617 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a busy square filled with people walking, sitting, and chatting. In the foreground, a tall figure in a long robe leans on a staff, looking out over the crowd. Behind them, grand buildings line the square, with a large fountain and statues in the middle. The artist used sharp lines to show every detail, from the folds in the robe to the distant rooftops. This kind of printmaking is called etching. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot created these precise lines.
