Bastion Lindenkruis te Maastricht 1830 - 1899

"Bastion Lindenkruis te Maastricht" is an etching created by Alexander Schaepkens, a Belgian artist, between 1830 and 1899. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the Lindenkruis Bastion in Maastricht, Netherlands. Schaepkens is known for his detailed and realistic renderings of landscapes and architecture, and this work is a prime example of his style. The etching captures the crumbling stone walls and the figures scaling the bastion, creating a sense of history and grandeur. The use of etching allows for a delicate and nuanced depiction of the stonework, making it a compelling example of 19th-century printmaking.
