Soldiers Attacking Robbers is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows soldiers on horseback charging at bandits in a rocky landscape. Their swords flash. The bandits scatter. A man falls off his donkey. Jacques Callot made this during wartime in France. He etched tiny details into metal plates. That’s how he got shadows and textures so clear. His work looks like old storybook pictures. Check his other prints at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
