This etching, "Gezicht op het amfitheater in de tuin naar Paleis Het Loo," by Dutch artist Cornelis (II) Danckerts, depicts the amphitheater in the gardens of Het Loo Palace. Created between 1696 and 1718, the artwork showcases the formal gardens, intricate parterres, and classical architecture popular in Dutch Baroque gardens. The view from the front highlights the symmetry and grandeur of the palace gardens, a testament to the Dutch fascination with order and rational design. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the aesthetics of 17th-century Dutch landscape design.
