Wenceslaus Hollar, known as Wenceslaus von Prachna Hollar (1607–1677), was a Czech engraver and artist renowned for his detailed etchings and prints that captured landscapes, cityscapes, and fashion in remarkable detail. Born in Prague, Hollar traveled across Europe and eventually settled in England, where he became associated with the Earl of Arundel, a prominent art patron. His works, particularly of London, the Rhine, and Flemish landscapes, are admired for their precision and meticulous attention to architectural and natural details. Hollar’s etchings provide invaluable visual records of 17th-century European life, architecture, and fashion.
