Amoenissimæ aliquot locorum ... effigies. Plate 17. Zu Cöllen, 1635. Creator: Wenceslaus Hollar

Amoenissimae aliquot locorum ... effigies. Plate 17. Zu Collen, 1635. Zu Collen (Cologne) is Plate 17 of a collection of 24 etchings, Amoenissimae aliquot locorum. This print depicts a prospect of Cologne and the contiguous settlement of Deutz, from the vantage point of the Sudstadt of Cologne on the other side of the Rhine. The church beyond the foreground windmill is St Severin, a historic basilica with a Romanesque core. The very tall tower and spire are later gothic additions. Amoenissimae aliquot locorum is the earliest of Hollar's recorded publications. The Latin title of the series translates as 'Delightful likenesses of some places lying in various countries'. It records Hollar's long and winding journey from his native Prague all the way to the Netherlands between 1627 and 1634

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the charming streets of Cologne with this exquisite etching by Wenceslaus Hollar. Plate 17 of his celebrated series 'Amoenissimae aliquot locorum' (Delightful likenesses of some places lying in various countries') captures a picturesque prospect of the city and its neighboring settlement, Deutz. The scene is set against the majestic backdrop of St Severin's Church, with its Romanesque core and Gothic spire reaching for the clouds. This stunning black-and-white print dates back to 1635, when Hollar was on his long journey from Prague to the Netherlands. His meticulous attention to detail brings alive the bustling streets, windmills, and church steeples of this historic city. The Sudstadt quarter is depicted in all its glory, with the Rhine River flowing gently through it. This beautiful piece of art not only showcases Hollar's skill as an etcher but also provides a glimpse into life in 17th-century Cologne. It is a testament to the enduring charm and beauty of this city, which has captivated artists and travelers alike for centuries.
