The Large Miseries of War: Marauding

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a scene of chaos outside a house. A large house with a gable roof and chimney is in the center. The house has a stone exterior and several windows. People are scattered in front of the house. Some are armed with swords and shields. Several people are on the ground. One person is running towards the left. A tree is on the left. There are trees and another building on the right. The sky appears cloudy. There is text at the bottom of the image. The text is in French and appears to be a poem or quote. The overall atmosphere suggests a scene of conflict or battle.
