Charles Frederick William Mielatz
1909
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Door of St. Bartholomew is a 1909 by Charles Frederick William Mielatz, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a grand stone doorway with three arched sections. The center arch has a carved scene of a group of people, while the side arches hold small statues in niches. Above the door, a row of small columns lines a balcony. The door itself has detailed metalwork with patterns and a handle in the middle. The artist focused on the textures—rough stone, smooth metal, and delicate carvings—to make the door look real. The shadows under the arches add depth, making parts of the scene pop. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this trick works in other art.
Charles Frederick William Mielatz (né Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Mielatz; May 24, 1864 – July 2, 1919) was a Prussian-born American etcher, graphic artist, painter, lithographer, and educator.
