About this work

This etching shows a chaotic battle scene with soldiers on horseback and foot. Smoke and dust fill the air. Men clash with swords, guns, and spears. Jacques Callot made this print in 1633. It’s part of his series called *The Miseries and Misfortunes of War*. He etched tiny details, like torn flags and exhausted faces. Look for Callot, Jacques to see more of his war scenes.
