EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Entry Count Thurn Taxis Hemissen ca 1651 Etching" transports viewers back to the year 1651, offering a glimpse into a significant historical event. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian artist from Prague who resided in London during this period, the etching showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The artwork depicts an elaborate scene where three coaches and horsemen arrive at Hemissem, accompanied by soldiers, cannon fire, and trumpeters. In the foreground lies a charming village landscape with sunken avenues adorned with trees. The composition is meticulously crafted with two lines of soldiers flanking the procession. This piece holds particular significance as it commemorates an important moment in history when Count Thurn Taxis inherited the postal monopoly of the Holy Roman Empire. The following year after this event took place, his wife embarked on a visit to Alexandre Roelants, the imperial postmaster in the Netherlands. Artokoloro's print beautifully captures every intricate detail of Hollar's original etching. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document that allows us to delve into Europe's past during this era.
