1632
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Martyrdom of the Apostles: St. Bartholomew is a 1632 by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a chaotic scene of people carrying tall wooden crosses and a body on a stretcher. A crowd gathers around a building with columns, while figures in the sky seem to be angels or spirits. The whole scene is dark with heavy shading, making some details hard to see. Notice how the artist used deep shadows and contrasts to create drama. This style was common in the Baroque period. Look up Baroque next to see more art like this.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
