EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the South East Corner of Tangier, a bustling city in North Africa during the late 17th century. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian etcher, this image showcases the intricate fortifications and majestic buildings that adorned the city's landscape. The etching beautifully depicts Tangier's strategic location along the coast of Morocco, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and situated near the Strait of Gibraltar. The harbor comes alive with ships engaged in trade and transport, highlighting Tangier's significance as a thriving port city. Hollar masterfully captures every detail of this walled city, showcasing its rich heritage art and architecture. The imposing castle stands tall amidst its fortifications, symbolizing strength and protection for its inhabitants. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Tangier was at the crossroads of different cultures and civilizations. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Hollar's talent as an artist but also provides us with valuable insights into Tangier's past. It reminds us of how cities evolve over time while still retaining their unique charm and character. As we admire this print from Wenceslaus Hollar at The Met Museum, it is impossible not to be captivated by both his skillful craftsmanship and our own curiosity about what life was like within those ancient walls centuries ago.
