Artist
Bohemian 17th Century

1600–1699
Bohemian 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
She spent her seventies locked in a Prague print shop, inking copper plates until her hands shook. The View of Lewenberg etching hides a joke: the town’s grandest bridge is a rickety board over a muddy ditch. Look closely and you’ll spot her cat curled on the artist’s stool, tail flicking at the chaos, proof that even 17th-century printmakers had to share their workspace. Tap this etching to zoom in on the cat’s smug little face.
