About the exhibition
Jacques Callot was one of the great artists of 17th century Europe and the one most responsible for turning the technique of etching into an art form. Born and raised in France, he travelled to Italy to be trained under the great masters of the time. Callot's work soon surpassed even that of his masters and, with the patronage of the powerful Medici family, he became one of the most sought-after and influential artists in Europe.
The etchings displayed in this exhibition were collected by a leading authority on Jacques Callot, Howard Daniel, who gifted the work to the Albury Art Gallery in the 1990s.
