Cloister from Trie-en-Bigorre, Metropolitan Museum of Art Cloisters
Rudolph Ruzicka American, born Czechoslovakia
Not on view
This image was printed from one of the three woodblocks Ruzicka used to create a color print of the Trie Cloister (39.23.7). Proofs made from each woodblock (39.23.1-.6), together with the final work, were donated to the Museum by the artist. The group would have been of interest to the Print Department's founding curator William Ivins, Jr. who admired Ruzicka's precise, exacting technique, and wished to add works to the collection that shed light on printmaking processes.
