EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Garden of Johan Schwinden" a hand-coloured engraving created by Matthaus Merian the Elder in 1641. Measuring 30.1x20 cm, this medium-sized artwork is part of a private collection and has been beautifully captured by eChristies Images. Set against the backdrop of an idyllic outdoor setting, this seventeenth-century Flemish garden exudes elegance and symmetry. The meticulously landscaped grounds feature a formal parterre adorned with statues and leafy foliage that adds depth to the scene. Hand-colouring techniques bring out the vibrant hues, making every detail come alive.

It is evident that Merian's skill as an engraver shines through in his intricate attention to detail. "The Garden of Johan Schwinden" serves as both an artistic masterpiece from the mid-seventeenth century and a testament to nature's timeless beauty. This hand-coloured print captures the essence of European art during
