Swiss 17th Century
1600–1699
Swiss 17th Century was a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist made a single striking watercolor of a towering Swiss Guard in full armor, shown against Rome’s skyline in the background. The work blends precise detail with a quiet, official mood, typical of 17th-century Swiss drawing traditions. See how the guard’s uniform stands out against the city’s distant domes.
