This anonymous engraving, created between 1822 and 1823, depicts the ruins of the New Lutheran Church in Amsterdam after a fire. The image showcases the church's facade, partially destroyed, with onlookers gathered in the foreground. The detail of the ruins and the surrounding cityscape provide a poignant record of the aftermath of the fire. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork offers a glimpse into 19th-century Amsterdam and the impact of disaster on the city's architecture.
