"Gezicht op Bonneville" is a 1697 etching by Johannes de Ram, a Dutch artist known for his detailed cityscapes. This bird's-eye view depicts the town of Bonneville, Switzerland, nestled between a river and a mountain range, highlighting the town's strategic location and impressive architecture. De Ram's meticulous attention to detail, including the city walls, houses, and the river winding through the landscape, showcases his mastery of perspective and his ability to capture the essence of urban life. This piece is a valuable historical record of 17th-century urban planning and is now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
