About Jacques Callot

1592–1635Duchy of Lorraine

Jacques Callot (1592–1635) was a French printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine, widely regarded as one of the first great artists to practice the graphic arts exclusively. Born and raised in Nancy, Callot revolutionized the medium of etching through technical innovations that would influence masters like Rembrandt and Goya for centuries to come.
