SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Cantor Arts Center
(see times)
During his brief career, Jacques Callot (France, 1592–1635) challenged the old assumption that printmakers were incapable of inventing original compositions by creating elegant, expressive prints. Warriors, Courtiers, and Saints features a selection of 16 prints that demonstrate Callot’s remarkable range—from recording the horrors of war to rendering whimsical landscapes, formal courtly scenes, and somber religious subjects—all in his light and fluid style.
