EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ciuitatis Westmonasteriensis pars Westminster" takes us back in time to the bustling city of Westminster in 1647. The etching, created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar, showcases a stunning view of this historic part of London. In this third state plate measuring 5 7/8 x 11 1/4 inches (15 x 28.5 cm), Hollar masterfully captures the essence of Westminster Abbey and the River Thames. The image transports us to a bygone era, where we can imagine the hustle and bustle of boats sailing along the river while people go about their daily lives. The composition is perfectly balanced with Westminster Abbey standing tall on the left side, its grandeur dominating the scene. In contrast, on the right side lies Parliament Hall with its majestic stairs leading down towards the water's edge. This juxtaposition highlights both religious and political power that defined this iconic location. Hollar's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously depicts each architectural element and boat present in his view of Westminster. His Bohemian background adds a unique perspective to this London landscape, showcasing his artistic prowess beyond borders. This remarkable print from Artokoloro allows us to appreciate Hollar's talent and offers a glimpse into an important chapter in London's history. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time and space, allowing us to connect with different cultures and historical moments without leaving our own
