EDITORS COMMENTS
The Violin Player, plate 12 from Jacques Callot's series "Les Gobbi" (The Dwarfs), is a captivating etching with engraving from the 1610s that showcases the intricacies of 17th-century apparel and the expressive artistry of the Baroque era. In this monochromatic masterpiece, a man with a full belly and a bushy mustache sits in a rustic setting, holding a violin against his stomach. His clothing, a mix of black and white, is adorned with buttons and features a long, buttoned coat and a wide-brimmed hat. He wears a sword at his side, adding an element of warfare to the peaceful scene. The man's facial expression is intense, as if lost in the music he is playing. This figure, along with the other plates in the series, offers a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and heritage of France during the Baroque period. The Violin Player is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, where it continues to inspire and intrigue viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
