1635
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Nuremberg is a 1635 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a detailed bird’s-eye view of Nuremberg, a German city. The artist etched every street, tower, and river bend precisely. Hollar made this from memory while exiled in England. The print shows how the city looked in the 1600s. Hollar often worked from sketches, not photos. It’s like an old-time Google Earth. For more, look up etching, the technique he used.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
