"description": "Jacques Callot (French, 1592-1635)\r\n\r\nThe Large Hunt, 1619\r\nEtching\r\n\r\nGift of Margaret Crile Garretson in memory of Hiram Garretson 1970.342\r\n\r\nCallot is known for two important inventions in etching. He designed a\r\nslanted, oval-shaped, steel-tipped etching tool called an \u00e9choppe which is\r\nused to imitate the tapering and swelling lines of an engraving. He also\r\ndeveloped a hard ground (an acid-resistant coating for etching plates),\r\ncomposed of mastic and linseed oil, that resisted chipping. Callot's work\r\nwas significantly influenced by theater design. His organization of space,\r\nusually into three distinct areas (although there are five in this\r\ncase)-foreground, middleground, and background-resembles stage sets of the\r\ntime. In fact, this work was probably inspired by a theater screen painted\r\nby Federico Zuccaro in 1565.\r\n\r\nLike Jacques Bellange, whose works are featured in galleries 109 and 110,\r\nCallot was from Lorraine. He was one of the most prolific professional\r\nprintmakers of the 1600s. Trained as an engraver, he worked in Nancy,\r\nFrance, the Low Countries, and in Florence for Grand Duke Cosimo II de'\r\nMedici. His range of subjects was broad-religious scenes, theater and\r\npageants, court life, beggars, and landscapes.\r\n\r\n",
