Jacques Callot

Jacques Callot

Jacques Callot (c. 1592 - March 28, 1635) was a baroque printmaker, draftsman and caricaturist. He is an important figure in the development of the old master print and major artist of the grotesque. He made over 1,400 brilliantly detailed etchings that chronicled the life of his period, featuring soldiers, clowns, drunkards, gypsies, beggars, as well as court life. He also etched many religious and military images, and many prints featured extensive landscapes in their background. He deeply inspired E. T. A. Hoffmann, who dedicated Fantasy Pieces in Callot's Manner (1814) to him.

Bernard Picart

Bernard Picart

Bernard Picart (1673-1733) was a French engraver, son of Etienne Picart, also an engraver. He was born in Paris and died in Amsterdam. He moved to Antwerp in 1696, and then spent a year in Amsterdam before returning to France at the end of 1698. After his wife died in 1708, he moved to Amsterdam in 1711 (later being joined by his father), where he became a Protestant convert and married again.

Picart, Prosper Marchand and Charles Levier belonged to a "radical Huguenot coterie".

Charles Méryon

Charles Méryon

Charles Méryon (November 23, 1821-February 13, 1868), was a French artist, who worked almost entirely in etching. Although now little-known in the English-speaking world, he is generally recognised as the most significant etcher of 19th century France.

His most famous work is a series of views of Paris.
