About this motif
The church of Alt St. Alban in Cologne's old town was destroyed in the Second World War and never rebuilt. Its ruin is now a memorial to the dead of the wars, with the grieving parents after Käthe Kollwitz.
Peters' etching "Cologne, St. Alban" shows part of the ruined facade with a Gothic portal and window openings in which figures can be seen. A quiet, thoughtful subject in shades of grey, image about 9 x 12 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
