Side Aisle of San Lorenzo, Florence is a 1612 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a church wall packed with fancy details. There are three tall columns with curly tops. Between them hang heavy curtains. Above, small pictures sit in frames—some have people, others have flowers or fruit. The walls are carved with swirls, leaves, and little scenes. Notice how the artist used lines to make everything look three-dimensional. The shadows and light tricks make the columns and frames pop. Want to see more like this?

Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
