Plan of the Holy Sepulchre and Mount Calvary is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a church floor plan. The layout shows walls, rooms, and staircases marked with numbers. A compass rose sits in the bottom left corner. The title at the top reads about the Holy Sepulchre and Mount Calvary. The artist used fine lines to show every hallway and doorway. This kind of detail was common in Baroque-era maps. The paper has a textured look, typical of old prints. Next, look up the Baroque movement for more examples of this style.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
