"Gezicht op Linz am Rhein" is an etching by Pieter Schenk, created between 1694 and 1697. It depicts a picturesque view of the town of Linz am Rhein, Germany, nestled along the Rhine River. The detailed landscape features rolling hills, a village with a church steeple, and a calm river dotted with boats. The engraving’s title is written below the scene, along with the artist’s name and the date. This artwork is a fine example of the Dutch tradition of landscape engraving, where meticulously rendered details create a sense of realism. The Rijksmuseum houses this small-scale print, measuring 133 mm in height and 169 mm in width.
