FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO’S CATALOG

Quaglio produced numerous landscape lithographs through 1823, many in series of Munich views and medieval sites. The collection seen in this gallery benefits from the artist’s extensive travels throughout Germany, his adopted home, and documents impressive structures surviving from the 16th century and earlier. Quaglio gave them all similarly edifying and lengthy lithographic titles; the one for this print has been excised from the main sheet and pasted down separately.
