Stoning of Jesus is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a chaotic crowd in an open space with tall columns. Some people are standing, others are kneeling or lying on the ground. A few figures in the center appear to be raising their hands, while others look down or away. The scene feels tense, with scattered objects on the ground. The artist used sharp lines to show movement and emotion, which was common in etchings of this time. This print is part of a series about biblical stories. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Callot created detailed prints.
