1641
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Peace of Munster is a 1641 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a big crowd in front of a fancy building. People are dressed in old-time clothes, standing close together. Some are holding flags or standing on platforms. The building has tall towers and lots of windows. A stage sits in front of it with more people on it. Look closer: the crowd looks excited, maybe watching a speech or ceremony. The artist used lines to show every detail, like clothes and faces. Want to know more? Try looking up etching next.
