1627
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
New ABC Booklet: K is a 1627 by Lucas Kilian, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a big fancy letter K wrapped in swirly vines. Inside the K, two figures stand near a table with a small building and a dog. The background is packed with scrolls, crowns, and weird symbols. Everything is black and white, with thick, bold lines. The scene looks like a story—maybe about knowledge or learning. The dog might be a clue. The artist used lots of detailed patterns to fill the space. Check out the Baroque movement for more dramatic, busy art like this.
Lucas Kilian (Lucas Kilianus Augustanus; 1579–1637) was a German engraver and etcher from the Kilian family of engravers in Augsburg.
