Gezicht op het dorp Stroe te Wieringen after 1789

Theodor de Roode's "Gezicht op het dorp Stroe te Wieringen" (View of the village of Stroe in Wieringen), created after 1789, is a detailed etching depicting a Dutch village. The artwork captures a dramatic scene of lightning striking above the church and surrounding buildings, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the 18th-century village. De Roode, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and architectural scenes, masterfully utilizes light and shadow to emphasize the depth and scale of the scene. The inclusion of figures adds a sense of human scale to the composition, providing a vivid depiction of a moment in time.
