The Great View of Prague

Wenceslaus Hollar

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a panoramic cityscape titled "PRAGA." The scene includes a river cutting through the center, buildings, spires, distant hills, a wall, and a clear sky. An old stone structure is in the foreground on the left. Various buildings and landmarks like "Rattlschin," "Dass Schlos," "Die Kleine Stätte," "Die Alte Statt," "Die Neue Statt," and "Wyszhrad" are visible among the tightly packed structures. The cityscape is detailed with fine linear engravings in a monochromatic palette.
