Geschiedenissen van gezag 1895

"Geschiedenissen van gezag" is a woodblock print created in 1895 by Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel, a Dutch artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This small, detailed print shows three figures, likely a representation of a historical event or allegory, framed by a stylized border. De Bazel's distinctive style, marked by simplified forms and intricate patterns, is evident in the artwork's minimalist aesthetic. This piece demonstrates the influence of Art Nouveau on de Bazel's artistic approach, highlighting the movement's emphasis on organic forms and decorative motifs.
