EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Jacques Callot, titled "Infantrie Officier" or "Infantry Officer," is a striking representation of a military figure from the early 17th century. Created in the 1610s during the Baroque era, this artwork is part of Callot's series "Les Caprices," or "Manners and Customs of the Sixteenth Century." The Infantrie Officier depicts a well-dressed infantryman, likely a captain or lieutenant, standing with a confident and authoritative posture. He wears a voluminous, high-waisted doublet, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, over a long, flowing shirt. His breeches are held up by a wide leather belt, and he dons a tall, conical hat with a feather plume. The officer's left hand is raised in a commanding gesture, pointing towards the viewer, while his right hand rests on the hilt of his sword. The black and white contrast of the etching adds to the dramatic effect, highlighting the intricate details of the clothing and the textures of the fabric. The infantryman's stern expression and strong posture convey a sense of power and determination, making this a captivating piece of historical art. This artwork is a testament to the fashion and military customs of the time, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a glimpse into the daily life of a 17th-century infantry officer. The Infantrie Officier is a valuable addition to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, showcasing the rich heritage and artistic talent of the Baroque era.
