Restoration of the Duomo, Florence is a 1614 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white scene shows a group of people gathered around a table, pointing at a large rolled-up drawing. One man stands at the table, gesturing as if explaining something, while others lean in or listen. In the background, a building with a dome and ships outside suggests a city setting. The artist used fine lines to create depth and texture, especially in the clothing and architecture. This is an old print, not a painting—it’s made by etching lines into metal. Next, check out the technique: engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
