The Large Miseries of War: Burning at the Stake

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white depiction of a violent scene. A large crowd surrounds a burning pile of wood and a man on fire. People in the crowd are dressed in 17th-century clothing, some carry flags and spears. A church and other buildings are visible in the background with smoke rising from them. A person is on the ground near the burning pile. The sky is cloudy and smoke-filled. Text is written in French at the bottom.
