Toegangsweg van een stad 1610 - 1653

"Toegangsweg van een stad" (City Gate) is a detailed etching by Dutch artist Simon de Vlieger, created between 1610 and 1653. The etching showcases de Vlieger’s signature style of depicting landscapes, particularly the architectural details of a city gate. The scene portrays a busy road leading into a town or city, with figures, carts, and animals moving along the path. The artist’s keen eye for detail is evident in the depiction of the buildings, foliage, and the light filtering through the trees. This piece, typical of de Vlieger’s work, exemplifies the artistic trends of the Dutch Golden Age.
