Saint Bartholemew's Church 1956

"Saint Bartholemew's Church" is a 1956 etching by Czech artist Jiří Balcar. The artwork depicts the imposing facade of a church, rendered in a simple, yet detailed style. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the architectural details of the building. The composition is focused on the church, with a small section of the surrounding town visible in the foreground, giving viewers a glimpse of the church's place in the urban landscape. The etching is a prime example of Balcar's fascination with the architectural beauty of his native Czech Republic.
