1635
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Strasbourg is a 1635 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet town with a big church labeled *S. Thomas* at its center. Wooden houses line the dirt streets, and a few people walk or work near a river where boats are tied up. The sky is light with soft clouds, and the whole scene looks calm. The artist used a sharp, precise style to show every roof and window. The name *Zu Straßburg* at the bottom means this is a view of Strasbourg, a city in Europe. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
