From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Door, St. Bartholomew's is a 1909 ink by Charles Frederick William Mielatz, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a grand arched doorway with a heavy, carved green door at its center. Above it, a small scene of figures stands in a half-circle, framed by a pointed arch made of red bricks. Flanking the door are two tall, narrow windows with stained glass, and the whole structure sits on a stone base with water in the foreground. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, especially in the brickwork and door carvings. The figures above the door look like they’re part of a religious story, but the details are small. This is a color etching, so the artist used acid and ink to create the lines and tones you see.
Charles Frederick William Mielatz (né Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Mielatz; May 24, 1864 – July 2, 1919) was a Prussian-born American etcher, graphic artist, painter, lithographer, and educator.
