In the life of Jacques Callot
The whole life1611–1621 · Workplace
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.
