Second Part of the Via Dolorosa is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two scenes of a stone building with arched doorways. On the left, three figures stand under a balcony where a small scene plays out—one person holds a cross, another points upward. The walls are made of neat bricks, and the roof has a simple slope. On the right, a lone figure stands in an empty arched doorway, looking down. The text above describes this as part of a religious journey, focusing on a moment where Jesus meets his mother while carrying the cross. The tiny details in the figures’ clothing and expressions add weight to the scene. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot carved these precise lines into metal.
