🎨 Did you know the 'Phoenix of Engraving' once sold his art from a royal gift shop inside Prague Castle?

This exquisite 1615 engraving captures summer's essence through the brilliant collaboration of two masters. Aegidius Sadeler II transformed Paul Bril's elegant landscape paintings into intricate prints, bringing Italian countryside dreams to Northern European homes.

Sadeler literally set up shop in Prague Castle's grand hall, serving three Habsburg emperors as their personal court engraver. His delicate linework and Bril's pastoral vision created these timeless scenes that still speak to our longing for peaceful escapes. 🌿

Some art just has this magical ability to transport you - whether it's 1615 or 2024, we all crave those moments of tranquil beauty.
