Imens i livet hos Jacques Callot
Hele livet1611–1621 · Virkested
Florence
1612
Joins the workshop of Giulio Parigi
In Florence Callot also studies with the painter and engraver Remigio Cantagallina, and in 1612 joins the workshop of Giulio Parigi; he later often collaborates with both, coming under Parigi’s influence.
1614–1621
At the court of Cosimo II de’ Medici
Under Parigi’s direction Callot works at the court of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo II de’ Medici in the Uffizi, designing festivals and theatrical performances — later these give him themes for his series of grotesque prints; during his Florentine years he becomes an independent master and often works for the Medici.
1617
Switches to hard ground and repeated biting
From 1617 Callot uses, instead of the soft ground customary until then, the acid-resistant hard ground of Florentine joiners and furniture-makers; it allows the plate to be bitten repeatedly, with parts of the spatial planes successively covered by varnish, and gives broad tonal gradations; he is also credited with the échoppe, an etching needle with a slanted end that produces a swelling line.
1621
Returns to Nancy after the death of Cosimo II
After the death of Grand Duke Cosimo II de’ Medici, Callot responds to Duke Charles IV of Lorraine’s wish to see him at his court and returns to Lorraine, where he is received with flattering honours; staying in Nancy, he sends his prints all over Europe, and Rembrandt becomes a keen collector of them.
