Capture a piece of historic Austrian artistry with this magnificent mid-20th-century multi-color etching and aquatint by the renowned Austrian artist Robert Kasimir (1914“2002).
The artwork beautifully depicts the dramatic Baroque architecture of Melk Abbey (Stift Melk), a historic Benedictine monastery perched majestically on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Danube River in Lower Austria.
This original print is hand-signed by the artist in pencil along the bottom margin, showcasing his signature fluid, looping cursive script that guarantees its authenticity as a lifetime impression.

The piece features wonderful historical provenance, retaining its original vintage gallery and inventory tags on the reverse, including a sticker from ""The Framing Place"" in San Mateo, California. Based on the 7-digit telephone format on the sticker, this high-quality custom framing was completed prior to 1997 (likely the late 1970s or 1980s). It is elegantly presented in a classic wood frame with a handsome metallic gold and black finish, double-matted to complement the warm, architectural tones of the etching.
A sophisticated addition to a traditional library, classic office, or a gallery wall celebrating European architecture.
