1627
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
New ABC Booklet: T is a 1627 by Lucas Kilian, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image is a black and white drawing of a tree with two children on either side. The tree has a large trunk with branches that spread out in all directions, and the children are holding onto the branches. The background is filled with swirling patterns and shapes. The children are dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and they appear to be playing or climbing on the tree. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, as if the children are about to jump off the page. The use of bold lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. This style is reminiscent of the Baroque movement, which emphasized dramatic lighting and intense emotions.
Lucas Kilian (Lucas Kilianus Augustanus; 1579–1637) was a German engraver and etcher from the Kilian family of engravers in Augsburg.
