Eugène Cicéri's "Steeg met huizen in de avondschemering" (1854) is a lithograph that depicts a narrow street in a medieval town at dusk. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and showcases Cicéri's skill in capturing the atmospheric ambiance of a historical setting. The lithograph's detailed depiction of the buildings, cobblestone street, and the subtle play of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism. The composition of the artwork, with the focus on the imposing structures against the fading light, contributes to the overall impression of the scene. This print exemplifies the popular Romantic artistic movement that celebrated history and nature in 19th-century Europe.
