View Near Albury 1645

Wenceslaus Hollar's etching, "View Near Albury," from 1645, captures a serene landscape with a gentle, rolling hill in the foreground. The artist's meticulous detail is evident in the depiction of the trees, fence, and path that lead the viewer's eye into the distance. The landscape is dominated by a clear sky with a soft cloud formation, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. This work is a fine example of the landscape drawings for which Hollar was renowned and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
