Stadsgezicht met de crypte van de Sint-Walburgiskerk in Antwerpen 1868

Jean Théodore Joseph Linnig's "Stadsgezicht met de crypte van de Sint-Walburgiskerk in Antwerpen," created in 1868, is a detailed etching depicting a street scene in Antwerp. The artwork focuses on the ruins of the Sint-Walburgiskerk, with its crumbling stone walls and arched openings, providing a glimpse into the city's past. The composition, typical of 19th-century urban landscapes, places emphasis on the architectural details and the everyday lives of people in the street. Linnig's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the atmosphere of this historic Belgian cityscape.
