Piazza SS. Annunziata, Florence is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a busy square in a city. On the left, a man in old-fashioned clothes leans on a long stick, watching the crowd. In the center, a tall statue stands on a pedestal, with a crowd gathered around it. People walk, chat, and carry things, while buildings with columns and windows line the square. Notice how the artist used lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel almost three-dimensional. The crowd and buildings are packed in, but the artist still makes each person and detail stand out. Want to see more like this?
