"Gezicht op de kerk van Saint-Germain-des-Prés te Parijs" is an etching and watercolor by Matthäus (II) Merian, created in 1655. It depicts the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris, France. The church, with its tall spire, is the central focus of the composition, surrounded by buildings and figures. The scene is bathed in a soft, pastel light, with a cloudy sky above. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection and provides a glimpse into 17th-century Parisian architecture and urban life.
