Stoning of Jesus is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a chaotic crowd of robed figures in a temple courtyard. Some are throwing stones while others kneel or cower, their arms raised in fear or surrender. The background has tall columns and arches, giving the scene a sense of depth and drama. Notice how the artist used sharp, jagged lines to show the tension—every figure looks tense and urgent. The text at the bottom hints this is a biblical story about Jesus. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot made prints like this.
