1635
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Prague is a 1635 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a hillside with a castle at the top. Below it, a river runs through a town packed with small buildings. People and boats move along the water. The sky is empty except for some clouds. The artist labeled two spots: *"S. Lorenzberg"* on the hill and *"Das Schloss"* (the castle). The text *"Zu Prag"* means "to Prague"—this is a map-like view of the city. Next, check out how this was made using etching.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
