Callot, who was born in Nancy, Lorraine, in 1592, is celebrated for his mastery of the etching technique and his ability to convey complex narratives through detailed and expressive imagery.

The series is structured as a visual chronicle of the harrowing experiences of soldiers and civilians during wartime. Each etching captures a different aspect of the conflict, from the recruitment of soldiers and the chaos of battle to the suffering of the wounded and the execution of deserters. Callot's work is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and its capacity to evoke deep emotional responses from viewers. The etchings are characterized by their intricate line work and the use of chiaroscuro to create dramatic contrasts between light and shadow.
