The Combat of Avigliana is a 1631 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a chaotic battle unfolding across a hilly landscape. Soldiers on horseback and foot clash near a river, while smoke rises from distant buildings. At the top, a crowned portrait watches over the scene, surrounded by ornate decorations. The artist packed a lot of detail into this small image—tiny figures, weapons, and even a shipwreck on the riverbank. The jagged mountains and winding roads add depth, making it feel like a real place. Next, check out how this work uses etching.
