Gezicht op rand van dorp met kathedraal 1613 - 1695

This etching, "Gezicht op rand van dorp met kathedraal" by Nicolas Perelle, depicts a picturesque view of a village on the outskirts of a town dominated by a grand cathedral. The scene, created between 1613 and 1695, showcases Perelle's mastery of perspective and detail, with a sweeping vista of the countryside, punctuated by a large tree framing the cathedral. Perelle's work, renowned for its meticulous rendering of architectural details and charming landscapes, captures the essence of 17th-century Dutch landscape art. This small-scale etching, measuring just 231 mm by 312 mm, provides a glimpse into the daily life of the village, with figures going about their activities, and the monumental presence of the cathedral.
