Gunpowder, pageantry, and precision. Hollar captures the moment a royal celebration erupts - fire fans out like calligraphy in the sky while soldiers parade below with drums and flags. A festival drawn in black powder and steel.
Currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and part of ArdorU’s Fireworks collection.
