The Martyrdom of Saint Philip is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a chaotic scene with a group of soldiers surrounding a man tied to a cross. The crowd looks tense, some holding weapons, while a few figures in the background watch from a distance. The sky is dark and swirling, adding to the drama. The artist used sharp lines to create a sense of movement and urgency. Notice how the figures are drawn with exaggerated poses, making the scene feel more intense.
