Sketches |

A popular pastime in the early Modern Age was for citizens of all types to fan out across the countryside, find a good vantage point, set up easels, and sketch away, Since wonders abound in this area (as do hallucinogenic fungi), they did not have to go far to find suitable subject matter. The sketches are just that - quick, spontaneous strokes, capturing the essence of a scene, sometimes enhanced with color.
The full set of sketches is available in book form from the museum shop |
