ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Premiere promenade de Berlin is a 1772 ink by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men in tricorn hats and long coats strolling a cobblestone street in Berlin. One man carries a walking stick. The other holds a folded umbrella. The buildings are simple, with plain doors and small windows. This etching is from 1772. It shows everyday life in Berlin before the city changed. The men look relaxed. The scene feels quiet and ordinary. Look up another print by Chodowiecki, Daniel Nikolaus.
Daniel Niklaus Chodowiecki (16 October 1726 – 7 February 1801) was a German painter and printmaker of Huguenot and Polish ancestry, who is most famous as an etcher.
