Emmerich 1642 - 1644

Wenceslaus Hollar's "Emmerich" (1642-1644) is a detailed etching depicting a cityscape with a prominent church spire and several ships sailing in the foreground. This panoramic view showcases Hollar's mastery of perspective and his keen eye for capturing the intricacies of urban landscapes. The etching's precision and delicate lines highlight the artist's skillful use of the intaglio printmaking technique. "Emmerich," now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the architectural grandeur of the Dutch town of Emmerich in the 17th century.
