Afstraffelse med vippegalge 1633

"Afstraffelse med vippegalge" (Punishment with a Gibbet) is an etching by Jacques Callot, created in 1633. The artwork depicts a public execution scene in a European town square, showcasing the harsh realities of punishment during that period. Callot's detailed and intricate style captures the solemn atmosphere of the event, with a large crowd witnessing the punishment and a figure hanging from a gibbet. This print, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a poignant example of Callot's mastery of etching and his exploration of societal themes.
