Callot
JACQUES (kä-lō'), a French engraver; born about 1593; distin- CALMAR guished himself in Italy and France, and was patronized by the Grand Duke of Tuscany and by Louis XIII. He preferred etching, probably because his active and fertile genius could in that way express itself more rapidly. In the space of 20 years he designed and executed about 1,600 pieces, the characteristics of which are freedom, variety, and naïveté. He died in 1635.
