Wenceslaus Hollar Bohemian
Not on view
Hollar was one of the most important printmakers of the seventeenth century. His technical virtuosity and his ability to render things, places, and people with astonishing detail and truthfulness has been highly regarded since his lifetime. He was so prolific and versatile that it has been noted that all we known of the 17th century is known through the work of Hollar.
This landscape is the title page to a series that Hollar created once he had moved to London. It is partly based on landscape drawings he had made earlier along the Rhine. To those works, a group of landscapes around London were added.
