BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Created for the “Guerra d’Amore” carnival in Florence, 1615. Associated with Cosimo II de’ Medici, “Festa del Serenissimo Gran Duca di Toscana”.

Biography engraver: Jacques Callot (c.1592-1635) was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine (an independent state on the north-eastern border of France, southwestern border of Germany and overlapping the southern Netherlands). He is an important person in the development of the old master print. He made more than 1,400 etchings that chronicled the life of his period, featuring soldiers, clowns, drunkards, Romani, beggars, as well as court life. He also etched many religious and military images, and many prints featured extensive landscapes in their background.

Biography artist: Giulio Parigi (1571-1635) was an Italian architect, stage designer, and artist, often working for the Medici court.
