"Gezicht op Rolandseck" is a landscape painting created by Bernhard Höfling between 1827 and 1871. This artwork depicts a panoramic view of the Rolandseck, a prominent hill overlooking the Rhine River, in Germany. The scene is rendered in a realistic style, showcasing the hill's forested slopes, a winding path leading to the peak, and a tranquil expanse of water in the foreground.
