1645
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Albury is a 1645 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a quiet river scene with a few trees and buildings along the shore. The water is calm, and a small boat floats near the center. In the distance, two church spires stick up above the skyline, and the sky is filled with wavy lines. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in the trees and clouds. The title *Albury* is written at the top right, and *Shire* appears on the left side. If you like this style, look up etching next to see how artists make prints like this.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
