Gezicht op Keulen bij avond c. 1896

Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande's etching "Gezicht op Keulen bij avond" (c. 1896) depicts a shadowy silhouette of Cologne's skyline, dominated by the imposing towers of the Cologne Cathedral, set against a hazy evening sky. The artist, known for his evocative cityscapes, uses a limited tonal range to create a sense of mystery and tranquility, highlighting the city's architectural grandeur in the fading light. This work is housed at the Rijksmuseum, and is an excellent example of the artist's skill in capturing the subtle beauty of urban landscapes.
