Gezicht vanaf de Amstel op Amsterdam 1887

Elias Stark's 1887 etching "Gezicht vanaf de Amstel op Amsterdam" offers a picturesque view of Amsterdam from across the Amstel river. The detailed rendering captures the city's skyline, with notable buildings and the Westerkerk's spire standing out against the hazy sky. Stark, a Dutch artist known for his cityscapes and landscapes, utilizes precise lines to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, capturing the subtle light of the cityscape. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 19th-century Dutch etching and showcases the city's architectural beauty.
