Twee voorstellingen uit de verhalen van Wilhelm Gottlieb Becker 1795

This etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, created in 1795, depicts two scenes from the stories of Wilhelm Gottlieb Becker. The left panel portrays a dramatic scene with multiple figures, while the right panel features a more serene outdoor setting with two figures. The artist's signature style of detailed and expressive linework is evident in both scenes, adding depth and emotion to the narrative. The etchings, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, were likely part of a larger illustrated publication, capturing the essence of Becker’s storytelling. These etchings offer a glimpse into the 18th-century world of German literature and art, showcasing the artistry of Chodowiecki and the popularity of Becker’s tales.
