The Martyrdom of Saint Philip is a 1634 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a chaotic scene of people carrying a tall cross through a town. Soldiers with spears and shields push forward, while others drag a body on the ground. In the background, a church tower and a crowd of onlookers fill the streets. The artist used sharp lines to show movement and tension in the scene. The print looks rough and textured, which was a common style for this kind of work. Next, check out how this was made using the technique: etching.
