1635
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Augsburg is a 1635 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, depicting Augsburg, held at National Gallery of Art.
Wenceslaus Hollar made this detailed etching of Augsburg in 1635. You’ll see the city’s walls, towers, and streets all in sharp lines. The view looks down from a hill, like a map you can walk through. Hollar loved showing cities this way. He traveled a lot and drew what he saw. This print is one of many city views he made. Want to see more? Try looking up Rembrandt’s etchings—he did a similar style.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
