This detailed drawing by Dutch artist Dirk Maas, created after 1695, depicts a panoramic view of Namur, Belgium, and the Meuse River. The artwork captures the city from a south-westerly perspective, highlighting the rolling hills and fortifications that surround it. The artist meticulously rendered the cityscape, with a bridge spanning the river and a bustling scene of figures and cannons in the foreground, reflecting the importance of Namur as a strategic military location during the 17th century. "View of Namur and the River Maas, Seen from the South-west" is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, providing a fascinating glimpse into the cityscape and landscape of this historic European city.
