The Large Miseries of War: The Hanging is a 1633 by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a chaotic scene of war. A large tree hangs with bodies, swaying over a crowd below. Soldiers march in the background, some carrying flags, while others stand near a ladder. On the right, a woman clutches a child, her face twisted in grief. The ground is muddy, with fallen figures scattered around. Notice the tiny details—like the man on the ladder or the woman’s desperate grip. This print is part of a series about war’s horrors. Want to see more? Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
