This etching by Johann August Corvinus, a German artist known for his architectural renderings, depicts the Kollegiatstift Haug in Würzburg, Germany, which is now known as the Saint John's Church. This detailed view shows the church’s facade and the surrounding buildings, showcasing the architectural beauty and grandeur of this religious complex. Created in 1740, the etching captures the church in a picturesque setting, featuring a cloudy sky and a sense of perspective that draws the viewer into the scene. The etching is a testament to Corvinus's talent for architectural drawing and his ability to capture the essence of a building in detail. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable document of the city's architectural heritage and a reminder of the craftsmanship of the Baroque period.
