Kasteelpoort en een stadspoort 1796 - 1837

"Kasteelpoort en een stadspoort" (Castle Gate and a City Gate) is an etching by Domenico Quaglio, created between 1796 and 1837. The artwork depicts two architectural scenes, one a castle gate with a bridge and another a city gate, both likely inspired by Italian architecture. Quaglio's detailed, expressive etchings are known for their masterful depiction of perspective and architectural forms. These small prints, measuring 125 mm x 105 mm, showcase his skill in capturing the beauty of historical structures. The use of a stark contrast between black and white adds a sense of depth and drama to the scene, further enhancing the artistic impact of the etching.
