About the Item
Etching on laid paper printed after Jacques Callot in the mid-17th Century.
Image dimension: 8.1x16.4 cm.; Matted dimension: 40x60 cm.
Signed in plate lower right: Callot in et fe cum privil Regis
Inscribed below image: La dernière planche gravée par defunt Callot, à laquelle l’eau forte n’a esté donnée qu’après sa mort
This fine etching occupies a special place in the oeuvre of Jacques Callot — one of the most celebrated printmakers of the 17th century. The composition depicts a lively rustic tavern scene: peasants gather under a vine-covered trellis outside an inn, engaged in animated conversation and feasting. In the foreground, figures tend to animals and barrels, while the architecture and landscape are rendered with Callot’s characteristic precision and rhythmic linearity.
The inscription along the lower margin notes that this was “the last plate engraved by the late Callot,” the biting of the plate (the acid process) having been completed only after his death. As such, it represents both a culmination of his artistic mastery and a poignant testament to his enduring influence on the art of etching.
Executed with extraordinary finesse, this work exemplifies Callot’s innovative use of the échoppe, a rounded etching needle that allowed him to modulate line weight with unprecedented subtlety. The result is a composition that balances narrative vitality with meticulous detail — qualities that deeply influenced later masters from Rembrandt to Piranesi.
The specimen is a superb, clear impression with fine contrasts; wide margins; minor age toning consistent with age.

Jacques Callot
Jacques Callot, at the age of 12 years old, he runs away in Italy with gypsies. Callot returned for the third time to Italy together with an embassy of Duke Henry II to the Holy See. In 1611, Callot entered the workshop of Tempesta, a famous Italian engraver, for three years. In 1614 Callot left Rome for Florence in the service of Cosimo II de Medici. Callot produced drawings and etchings that drew influence from Flemish art and Mannerist works in Roman churches. Callot’s career began in Florence in 1612 when he started work in the Medici court, where he was employed to make pictorial records of entertainments such as fairs and festivals and where he also drew and etched courtiers, beggars and other characters, excelling particularly at caricatures. Returning to his native France in the latter end of his career, Callot’s work became markedly soberer as he documented the horrors of the 30 years of war in his Miseries of War series, which would continue to influence the artistic representation of conflict social injustice into the 19th and 20th Centuries.

17th century etching black and white figurative landscape trees buildings
By Jan Frans van Bloemen (Orizzonte)
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Conversation Outside Castle" is an original etching by Jan Frans van Bloemen. It depicts a number of figures just outside the majestic walls of a castle. These groups of figures are engaged in their own conversations.
9" x 6 3/4" art
21 5/8" x 19 3/8" frame
Jan Frans van Bloemen (baptized 12 May 1662 - buried 13 June 1749) was a Flemish landscape painter mainly active in Rome. Here he was able to establish himself as the leading painter of views (vedute) of the Roman countryside depicted in the aesthetic of the classical landscape tradition.
Van Bloemen predominantly painted classical landscapes, taking his inspiration from the Roman Campagna. His landscapes, with their recession through a series of planes, soft, warm lightning and classical and religious subject matter, drew on the examples of artists such as Claude Lorrain and Gaspard Dughet. His paintings are exquisitely imbued with that "difficult-to-define pastoral ambience" which helped to make him such a great painter in the eyes of his contemporaries. The technique and subjects of the work of Jan Frans van Bloemen are also related to painters such as Jan Asselijn...
