A Celebration 1670 - 1719

"A Celebration" is an etching by Johann Ulrich Kraus, a prominent German artist of the 17th century. Created between 1670 and 1719, this detailed print depicts a grand celebration, likely a religious procession. The scene is full of figures gathered around a monumental structure, perhaps a pyre, adorned with decorative elements. The artist's use of fine lines and hatching creates a sense of depth and volume, enhancing the dramatic and theatrical quality of the composition. The print is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
