Saint Andrew is a 1631 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a bearded man in a long robe carrying a large cross on his back. His face is serious, and he walks toward a crowd gathered in the background. Some people raise their arms, while others stand with spears or look on. The artist used sharp lines to show the texture of the robe and the rough wood of the cross. The scene feels dramatic, with the man’s burden standing out against the smaller figures behind him. Next, explore the technique: etching to see how artists like Callot created detailed prints.
