1819
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Art of the Lithograph: River Landscape, Plate XIII is a 1819 by Alois Senefelder, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet river winding through a lush valley. A lone figure walks a dog along the shore, while trees and rolling hills fill the background. The sky is soft, with just a hint of clouds. The tiny text below says it’s made using a method called lithography, which was new back then. This was one of the first prints made this way.
