1845
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sketches in Belgium and Germany, First Series, Porch of Frauenkirch, Nuremberg is a 1845 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a group of people inside a church porch. The walls and arches are packed with carved figures and scenes. Light comes through the open doorway, showing more statues inside. Notice how the artist used shading to make the carvings pop. The people look like they’re just standing there, but the stone work around them is packed with tiny details. Check out Romanticism to see how artists liked dramatic light and lots of detail.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
