View of Mecheln
Woodcut, in black, blue and buff, 1898, 88 x 60 mm., Glöckner Galerie (1980) 86/4.
An early and rare color woodcut by Orlik. Fine impression on thin japan paper with small margins, titled and signed in pencil. The view shows medieval houses and the clock tower and steeple of the gothic cathedral. Mecheln (Mechelin, Mechlin, Malines) is in north Belgium near Antwerp. This is one of Orlik’s earliest color prints. Two years afterward he traveled to Japan where he studied the Japanese method of making color woodcuts, which strongly influenced his later work.
