Sobre a obra
Nas palavras do museu — em holandês
Voorstelling van de hel als een omheinde, trapsgewijs opgebouwde piramide, met helemaal bovenaan Satan die zielen van zondaars verslindt, en op de lagen onder hem vele verdoemden die door duivelse wezens en vuurhaarden gepijnigd worden. In de hoeken buiten de piramide: linksboven zielen in het vagevuur; rechtsboven Christus die een groep zielen wegleidt; linksonder duivels die per boot nieuwe zielen aanvoeren; rechtsonder een rots. Her en der in de voorstelling verklarende teksten in het Latijn, o.a. van verschillende zonden. Onder de voorstelling het wapen van de Medici en twee omkaderde teksten in het Italiaans.

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).

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.
