"Gezicht op de kerk van het dorp Mogneville" is a 1652 etching by French artist Israel Silvestre (1621-1691). The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a detailed perspective of a church in Mogneville, a village near the French city of Liencourt. The piece captures the architectural grandeur of the church with its tall steeple, showcasing Silvestre's masterful use of line and detail in rendering the scene. This etching is a prime example of the architectural views that were popular during the 17th century, as artists sought to capture the unique character of places and buildings.
