Entry of the Count of Thurn and Taxis into Hemissen 1646 - 1656

"Entry of the Count of Thurn and Taxis into Hemissen" is an etching by Wenceslaus Hollar, a prolific Czech-born artist known for his detailed and realistic depictions of everyday life. This piece, created between 1646 and 1656, depicts a grand procession through a wooded landscape, likely a celebratory event marking the Count's arrival. The etching showcases Hollar's mastery of detail, capturing the diverse figures and their costumes, the architecture of the surrounding buildings, and the natural environment with precision. The work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
