Franz Valentin Durmer’s prints feel like weather reports from the 1790s, every line crisp enough to catch the wind. A Munich printmaker by trade, he turns the city’s four seasons into four tidy maps: Spring shows fruit trees budding above the Isar’s banks, Winter crowds the Frauenkirche’s shadow with ice skaters. Look for the way he tucks a single curling smoke plume into each season like a signature.
