About the Item
Hand colored, Copperplate Etching on Paper
Image size: 9.5 x 9 in
Frame size: 23.25 x 22.25 in.
Date: 1935
An illustrative view of Saint Michael's, a Late Romanesque, early Gothic era Church, and one of the oldest church buildings in Austria. This scene shows the balance of the iconic church within the scenic natural landscape on the banks of the Danube River, nestled in the Wachau Valley. This location is UNESCO World Heritage Site and signifies the quintessential Medieval Era, European Landscape.
The picture features lush green fields, pink flowering trees, and majestic Alpine mountains, under a bright blue sky, speckled with clouds.
Copperplate etching is a form of “intaglio”, a type of printmaking, in which an image is carved into the surface of a copper plate using a process of acid baths. The plate is inked, and laid on a printing press with a sheet of paper stacked on it.
The assembly is rolled through the press and the image is transferred from the plate to the paper. A plate can be used to make multiples of the same image, and each impression is a unique, handmade work of art.
The print is handsomely framed with a natural linen liner and an ornate frame with gold-leaf finish. Ready to hang.

Luigi Kasimir
Alois Heinrich “Luigi” Kasimir (Austrian, 1881-1962) was born on April 18, 1881 in Ptuj, Austria (today Slovenia) then a part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. He may have inherited his talent from his ancestors; his grandfather was a painter and a poet, and his father, an officer in the Habsburg army, who later became a professional painter. Kasimir attended the Vienna Academy of Art where he studied under Willhelm Unger, who introduced him to the technique of the color etching, and also to his future wife, the artist Tanna Hoernes. Kasimir was among the early practitioners of the multi-plate color etching. Before this, prints were usually hand-colored with the color being applied in a casual, haphazard manner. Kasimir would first create a sketch—usually in pastel. He then transferred the design on as many as four to six plates, printing one after the other and applying the color to the plate - all done by hand. Although Luigi Kasimir is mainly famous for his etchings, but he also produced some oil painting, as well as some pastels. One of his favorite genres was the landscape. He demonstrated a predisposition for monuments, street scenes, and tourist landmarks. He depicted places from all over Europe, mainly Italy, Austria, and Germany. He also travelled to the United States to do a series of etchings of famous sights ranging from urban landmarks such as New York skyscrapers to natural wonders like California’s Yosemite Valley. Kasimir designed a bookplate for Sigmund Freud, who also hung an etching of the Roman Forum by Kasimir in his consulting room. Kasimir’s wife, Tanna and their son Robert worked in a similar style. Luigi Kasimir died in 1962 in Grinzing, a suburb of Vienna, Austria
