Chapel of Saint Margaret in the City of Nuremberg, from Collection of Memorable Medieval Buildings in Germany

Domenico Quaglio II

Date: 1819
Medium: Lithograph in black with gray-green and pale red-orange tint stones on cream wove paper
Culture: Germany
Department: Prints and Drawings
Institution: Art Institute of Chicago

Quaglio shared the German Romantic fondness for lithography and nostalgia for medieval architecture. Unusually vivid in its use of tint-stone coloring, Quaglio’s glowing lithograph depicts the internal chamber of a chapel as if it were not only illuminated, but suffused with fire. Documenting dozens of similar sites across Germany, he would later gain a commission to restore Hohenschwangau Castle to its Gothic glory.
