Gezicht op het Molenwater te Middelburg 1751 - 1760

"Gezicht op het Molenwater te Middelburg" is a 1751-1760 etching by Dutch artist Jan Caspar Philips (1700-1775), depicting a serene view of Middelburg's canal "Molenwater" with buildings lining the banks. The etching is part of a series of views of Dutch cities and landscapes. The detailed composition, including figures in the foreground, demonstrates the artist's keen eye for capturing daily life and architecture, a characteristic of Dutch Golden Age art. The print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document that preserves a snapshot of Middelburg's 18th-century cityscape.
