Jacques Callot (1592-1635) is perhaps not a name many are familiar with. Overshadowed by the work of Albrecht Durer and Rembrandt van Rijn, he is sometimes overlooked. Yet Callot is one of the most important printmakers and pioneers of etching in western art history, and his work was admired by many aristocrats of his time, including Cosimo II de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
