1842
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Title Page for A.D. van Buren Schele's "Adolf van Gelder", Amsterdam, 1842 is a 1842 ink by Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a dramatic scene at night. Three men in medieval armor stand in the foreground, one holding a spear. Behind them, a group of people fights near a castle with towers. The moon hangs low in the sky, and the ground looks wet, like it’s been raining. The text at the top names the book this image comes from: *Adolf van Gelder*. The artist’s signature is in the corner, but the scene itself looks like a story pulled straight from a fairy tale or old legend. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists carved these detailed scenes into metal plates.
Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter (1842–1842) was an artist.
