In 1611, Antonio Tempesta hired Callot to etch the decoration created by Giulio Parigi and by Tempesta himself for the funeral of Marguerite of Austria, Queen of Spain. Marguerite, wife of King Philip III of Spain and sister of Maria Magdalena, the wife of Cosimo II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, died on October 3, 1611 and her funeral was held in the Florentine Church of San Lorenzo. Callot etched Parigi's ephemeral decoration for San Lorenzo and fifteen of Tempesta's twenty-six grisaille paintings with images from Marguerite's life. These etchings were published in The Funeral Book of the Queen of Spain in Florence in 1612 with a text by Giovanni Altoviti. Both the funeral ceremonies and The Funeral Book of the Queen of Spain were commissioned by Cosimo II.
