1647
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Views of London: New Palace Yard with Westminster Hall, and the Clock House is a 1647 by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, depicting Bohemia, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a busy square with a mix of old buildings. On the left is a large church with a tall tower and pointed roof. In the center stands a small pavilion with a dome, and people walk around, some riding in horse-drawn carriages. The right side has smaller houses with steep roofs, and a tall clock tower rises above them. The artist used fine lines to show every detail, from the cobblestones to the folds in people’s clothes. The title tells us this is Westminster Hall, a famous royal court building in London. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style shaped art and architecture.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
