Gezicht op het Lutherse Diaconiehuis te Amsterdam gezien vanaf de Nieuwe Keizersgracht 1770 - 1783

Hermanus Petrus Schouten's "Gezicht op het Lutherse Diaconiehuis te Amsterdam gezien vanaf de Nieuwe Keizersgracht" (1770-1783) is a detailed engraving depicting the newly constructed Lutheran Deaconess House in Amsterdam. The view, taken from the Nieuwe Keizersgracht, shows the building's impressive facade and its location on the canal, with a line of trees in the foreground framing the scene. The composition highlights the architectural details of the building, conveying a sense of grandeur and order, while the figures in the scene provide a sense of scale and human activity in this important city location. The work demonstrates Schouten's mastery of detail and perspective, and its presence in the Rijksmuseum underscores the significance of this building in Amsterdam's history.
