Nieuwendam, ca. 1790 Possibly 1786 - 1825

"Nieuwendam, ca. 1790" is an aquatint print by Carel Frederik (I) Bendorp, a Dutch artist known for his depictions of Dutch landscapes and cityscapes. This print portrays a picturesque scene of a village in the Netherlands. The composition is dominated by a windmill, a symbol of Dutch tradition, and a church steeple in the background. The small figures and simple, yet detailed, structures provide a sense of daily life in this small Dutch community. The print is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering viewers a glimpse into the Netherlands' past through Bendorp's masterful use of aquatint.
