The Stag Hunt is a 1619 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows hunters on horseback chasing a stag through a forest. Dogs bark and men lean forward with spears. Trees and rocks fill the background in scratchy lines. Callot’s tiny figures look busy and small against nature. His lines are sharp and scratchy. He made this by scratching into metal with a needle, then inking the plate. Look for his name if you like his scratchy, detailed style.
