The Entry into Jerusalem is a 1635 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a bustling scene of people gathered around a central figure on a donkey, surrounded by palm trees and buildings in the background. The crowd is dressed in robes, with some kneeling or standing, while others are perched on rocks or trees. In the foreground, a man is shown holding a palm frond, adding to the sense of celebration and reverence. The etching is rendered in fine detail, with intricate lines and textures that give the scene a sense of depth and dimensionality. For more on the art of etching, explore the technique of etching.
