Johann Georg Hertel

Johann Georg Hertel is represented here through prints that sit within the engraving and etching traditions of the seventeenth century, spanning ornamental cartouche designs, mythological and biblical scenes, and landscape and architectural views. The sheets in this collection range from Joseph's Coat Brought to Jacob and the Book of Cartouches frontispiece to the Forges of Vulcan, the Ark of the Covenant, and a bridge landscape. Across the six works, etching and engraving dominate, with several produced as reverse copies, and the impressions date up to 1633.
