Callot, Jacques
(b Nancy, March–Aug 1592; d Nancy, 25 March 1635). French etcher, engraver and draughtsman. He was one of the most accomplished printmakers in the Western tradition and one of the major exponents of the Mannerist style in the early 17th century. His often fantastic compositions combine grotesque and elegant elements in a compelling and personal manner. He greatly advanced both the technical and the aesthetic possibilities of etching through his invention of a chip-resistant ground for copperplates and his consummate skill in making repeated bitings of a single plate.
