Gezicht op Tanger 1896

"Gezicht op Tanger" (View of Tangier) is an etching by Dutch artist Wijnand Otto Jan Nieuwenkamp from 1896. The artwork depicts the city of Tangier, Morocco, nestled against a hillside and overlooking the sea. Nieuwenkamp's detailed yet simplified rendering of the city's architecture showcases his mastery of etching, a technique that uses an acid-resistant coating on a metal plate to create lines and tones. This print provides a glimpse into the city's urban landscape and the artist's skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.
