EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white aerial view print, titled "Tongerloo, 1659" takes us back to the 17th century in Belgium. Created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar, this etching showcases the picturesque Tongerlo Abbey from a bird's eye perspective. The abbey stands proudly amidst a serene countryside landscape, surrounded by lush orchards and agricultural fields. Its grandeur is emphasized by its imposing architecture and intricate details captured in every stroke of Hollar's etching. A notable feature of this artwork is the inclusion of a heraldic cartouche displaying the coat of arms, symbolizing the rich heritage and religious significance associated with Tongerlo Abbey. This monastic estate holds great historical importance as it served as a center for spirituality during that era. Hollar's attention to detail brings out the beauty of this Bohemian masterpiece. The use of black and white adds an element of timelessness to the print, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in centuries past. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Mona), this piece serves as a testament to Wenceslaus Hollar's artistic prowess and his ability to capture landscapes with precision and grace. It invites us on a journey through history while reminding us of the enduring legacy held within these ancient walls.
