EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Augsburg, 1665" takes us back to the 17th century in Augsburg, Bayern, Germany. Created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar, this etching beautifully captures the essence of a bustling cityscape steeped in heritage and history. In this remarkable piece of art, we are transported to a time when Christianity played a central role in society. The St Ulrichs and St Afras Abbey stands proudly amidst the landscape, symbolizing the deep-rooted religious traditions that shaped Augsburg's identity. The intricate details showcased in Hollar's work allow us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty of buildings but also the geographical features surrounding them. The rivers Lech and Singold gracefully wind their way through the cityscape while adding depth and character to its overall charm. Hollar's masterful use of black and white adds a timeless quality to this artwork. It evokes a sense of nostalgia as we imagine what life was like during this period. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past whispering stories about Bohemian influences on German culture. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece serves as an important reminder of our rich cultural heritage. It invites us to explore our roots and reflect on how cities like Augsburg have evolved over time. Wenceslaus Hollar's "Augsburg, 1665" is more than just an image;
