Ponte Vecchio, Florence is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a busy bridge packed with tiny figures crossing over a river. Below, more people gather on the riverbank, some standing, some sitting. The bridge has buildings on top, and the city skyline in the background is full of domes and towers. The artist used fine lines to create lots of detail, especially in the crowd and water. The scene feels both busy and quiet at the same time. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
