Sull’opera
In the museum's own words — the original
Op een stadsplein vol mensen worden diverse terechtstellingen en folteringen uitgevoerd. Links op een verhoging wordt iemand onthoofd en een ander geradbraakt. In het midden hangen twee mensen aan een galg. Rechts achteraan hangt iemand aan een wipgalg. In de rechter bovenhoek van de prent is nog net een kooi te zien met een veroordeelde erin. Onder de voorstelling staan acht Franse versregels.

Nel frattempo, nella vita di Jacques Callot
Tutta la vita1621–1635 · Luogo di lavoro
Nancy
1627
In the Netherlands at Infanta Isabella’s invitation
At the invitation of the Infanta Isabella Callot visits the Netherlands; views of Holland, like those of Italy and France, and characteristic portraits of soldiers, circus performers and actors are reflected in his work.
1627
Van Dyck paints his portrait in Brussels
In Brussels Callot meets Anthony van Dyck, who paints his portrait; it is later engraved by Lucas Vorsterman and enters the famous “Iconography”.
1629–1630
Declines to serve Louis XIII
King Louis XIII of France offers Callot a place at his court, but the artist declines; by one account, as a patriot of Lorraine he could not forgive the king for the devastation of his homeland by French troops.
1633
The French invasion of Lorraine
In the year the large series of the “Miseries of War” is published, Lorraine is invaded by the French during the Thirty Years’ War; Callot’s etchings of pillaging, executions and the lot of crippled beggars are counted among the most powerful artistic statements of the inhumanity of war and will later inspire Goya.
