Vorhalle und Treppe eines mittelalterlichen Rathauses 1823

Heinrich Hübsch's "Vorhalle und Treppe eines mittelalterlichen Rathauses" (1823) is a detailed architectural drawing of a medieval town hall. The work showcases Hübsch's interest in medieval architecture and his keen eye for detail. Depicting a vaulted hall with columns, the drawing creates a sense of grandeur and history. Hübsch's use of delicate lines and shading brings the building to life, inviting the viewer to imagine the bustling activity that once took place within its walls. The drawing, now part of the Städel Museum collection, exemplifies the romantic fascination with the Middle Ages that was prominent in the early 19th century.
