The Large Miseries of War: Peasant's Revenge

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching depicting a chaotic scene of people attacking and killing each other in a wooded area. The scene shows a group of men, some wearing hats and carrying weapons such as pitchforks and clubs, attacking and beating other men on the ground. Trees are on both sides, with a village visible in the background. The men on the ground are either dead or wounded. The etching has a detailed and textured appearance, with a caption written in French at the bottom. The overall mood of the image is violent and intense, conveying a sense of chaos and destruction.
