1627
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
New ABC Booklet: Z is a 1627 by Lucas Kilian, a Baroque work, depicting Letter, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a booklet cover with a big letter Z on it. The artist put a lot of detail into this small image. It's interesting because the letter Z is decorated with flowers and other ornaments, which was a common way to make books look fancy back then. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
Lucas Kilian (Lucas Kilianus Augustanus; 1579–1637) was a German engraver and etcher from the Kilian family of engravers in Augsburg.
