Abstract
In the last years of his life, Jacques Callot etched two series of prints illustrating the miseries of war. The first, in a smaller format and therefore called the Small Miseries of War, consists of six prints, which Callot etched ca. 1632.1 The later Large Miseries consists of eighteen prints that were published in 1633.2 Neither series is known to have been commissioned, and scholars without exception assume that Callot chose the theme himself.3 Scholars differ, however, about why Callot selected the subject and how the prints should be interpreted. Interpretations are often conflicting and none has gained wide acceptance. This study is an attempt to reexamine the problem.
