About this motif
Cologne Cathedral was built over many centuries; when it was completed in 1880 it was considered the tallest building in the world. Its portals are adorned with countless figures, canopies and ornaments.
Peters' etching "Cologne Cathedral, South Portal" shows the cathedral's south portal: the tall Gothic portal with its pointed arch, sculptures and delicate tracery fills the whole portrait format. As a black-and-white print in particular, the light and shadow of the stonework stand out beautifully; image about 9 x 12 cm, framed on request.
