The Large Miseries of War: The Battle

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white illustration of a chaotic battle scene. A large group of people on foot and on horseback are engaged in combat, with some holding weapons like swords and spears. Many bodies lie on the ground, some wearing armor. The background shows a cloudy sky with smoke or fog rising from the ground. Buildings are visible on the horizon. The scene is framed by a thin border. There is text in a foreign language at the bottom of the image.
