This etching shows Nuremberg’s skyline from the west in 1552. The walls and towers rise sharp against the sky. Tiny figures walk below, making the city feel alive. Hanns Lautensack made this from a high hill. He used a needle on a metal plate, scratching lines for ink. The shadows make walls pop, like a snapshot in metal. If this view intrigues you, try Lautensack, Hanns.
