The Hospital is a 1633 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This busy street scene shows a crowd of people in old-fashioned clothes. Some are walking, others are fighting or lying on the ground. In the background, there’s a big church with domes and a tall cross. Buildings line both sides of the street, and a fountain sits near the center. Notice the mix of chaos and everyday life—some people look like they’re in trouble, while others just go about their day. The text below seems to describe war’s harsh reality. Want to learn more?
