![[Gypsies stopped outside a tavern]](jpegs/42248.jpg)
[Gypsies stopped outside a tavern] Vous qui prenez plaisir en leurs paroles / Gardez vos blanc, vos testons, et pistolles.
Callot f. [c.1625] Bit later.
Etching, sheet 125 x 235mm (5 x 9¼"). Trimmed and tipped into album sheet.
Gypsies outside a tavern; fortune-tellers in middle-ground; figures climbing into the tavern through a window; others running away with stolen goods in background. One of a set of four plates depicting gypsies (then known as 'Egyptians', from which the word derives) by Jacques Callot (1592-1635), one of the greatest seventeenth century printmakers. The text seems to suggest that those who take pleasure in the entertainment provided by gypsies should be careful with their possessions- including their guns. British Museum cataloguing for the series suggests that it was produced after Callot returned to his native Nancy from Florence (where he spent several years) in 1621. A preparatory drawing for one of the set (now in the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg) bears a watermark indicating the paper was from Lorraine.

Callot f [in image; c.1620]

Plate from a set by Jacques Callot depicting episodes from the Passion, designed in Florence and engraved between 1619 and 1624. There are seven plates in the set, although preparatory drawings suggest the engraver originally planned more. Callot (1592-1635) was one of the greatest seventeenth century printmakers, bringing combining elegance and (in his 'Miseries and Misfortunes of War') grotesquerie.

One, mounted on card for use as a fan, can be seen held aloft by a spectator seated on the right side of the volute which forms the border. Etched by Edouard Ecqman (1639, fl), who produced copies of many of Callot's prints.
