Il Solimano, Act V

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a city scene with buildings on fire. The image shows fires burning through structures on both sides of a central street. Billowing smoke fills the sky, swirling in intricate patterns. Below, a crowd of figures is engaged in various activities, including running, fighting, and panicking. The architecture is classical, with statues, columns, and decorative facades visible. The scene is dramatic and full of movement and tension.
