Piazza SS. Annunziata, Florence is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a busy square in a city. On the left, a man in long robes and a wide-brimmed hat leans on a long stick, watching the crowd. In the center stands a tall statue of a woman on a pedestal, surrounded by people walking, talking, and carrying things. Buildings with arched windows and columns line the square, and a few animals—like a dog and a horse—are scattered around. The artist used fine lines to show every detail, from the folds in the man’s clothes to the tiny figures in the crowd. This kind of precise drawing is typical of the time. Next, look up *etching* to see how artists like this made their prints.
