1904
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Puerta Visagara, Gate of Madrid, Toledo is a 1904 ink by Joseph Pennell, depicting Gate, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a tall stone gate in Toledo, Spain. It’s an etching, a way to carve lines into metal then ink it. The shadows feel deep and real. Pennell loved old cities and used drypoint tools to scratch tiny lines. That made the gate’s ironwork pop off the page. The print feels almost three-dimensional. Try another Pennell, Joseph print next.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
