Gezicht op de Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts 1631 - 1661

"Gezicht op de Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts" is an etching created by French artist Israel Silvestre between 1631 and 1661, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. It depicts a detailed view of the Église des Quinze-Vingts, a church in Paris, and its surrounding street scene. The artwork displays Silvestre's mastery of perspective and detail, capturing the architectural features of the church, the bustling activity in the square, and the subtle details of the surrounding buildings. This etching is a fine example of Silvestre's contribution to the flourishing genre of vedute - city views - popular in 17th-century Europe.
