Nuremberg is a 1502 ink by German 16th Century, a Renaissance work, depicting Nuremberg, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a detailed engraving of Nuremberg from above. It shows the city’s walls, towers, and winding streets. The artist packed tiny details into every inch. This style is called cross-hatching. Thousands of crisscrossed lines create shadows and depth. It was hard work with a metal plate and a sharp tool. See it at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
