Pendant ce temps, chez Jacques Callot
La vie entière1608
Runs away from home to Rome
Secretly from his parents Jacques sets out on foot for Rome — according to legend, with wandering Romani; by one account he ran away twice and twice came back at his father’s demand, until his father finally consented to his studying in Italy.

Studies etching with Tempesta in Florence
Having studied burin engraving in Rome with Philippe Thomassin, Callot moves to Florence, where he works with Antonio Tempesta, who teaches him the technique of line etching (by other accounts, he lived in Florence from 1612).
