EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Prospect Lower Part Tangier ca 1670" transports viewers back in time to the bustling city of Tangier during the 17th century. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian artist from Prague who later settled in London, this etching showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and breathtaking landscapes. The image presents a panoramic view of Tangier's bay, with rolling hills stretching into the distance. In the foreground, two figures on horseback catch our attention as they lead a troop of soldiers towards their destination. The left side of the composition reveals several ships anchored in the harbor, adding an element of maritime activity to this vibrant scene. Hollar's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every stroke and line that brings life to this historical moment frozen in time. The second state etching technique used here adds depth and texture to the overall composition, enhancing its visual appeal. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back centuries ago when Tangier was a hub of trade and cultural exchange. This print serves as both a testament to Hollar's artistic prowess and an invaluable window into history for art enthusiasts and historians alike.
