Sketches in Belgium and Germany, First Series, The Holy Well in the Cathedral of Ratisbon is a 1845 by Louis Haghe, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a fancy church interior. Three people in robes stand near a tall, carved stand with a statue inside. The walls have big arches and thin windows. The floor is stone, and the whole scene looks like a sketch. The stand holds a statue wrapped in cloth. The artist drew every detail carefully, even the shadows. This was made in 1845 by someone who traveled to draw old buildings. Next, check out Romanticism to see why artists like this style.
Louis Haghe (17 March 1806 – 9 March 1885) was a lithographer and watercolourist from the Netherlands and then the United Kingdom.
