Huwelijksceremonieën 1682 - 1733

"Huwelijksceremonieën" (Wedding Ceremonies) is an etching by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708). This detailed print, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a lively scene of a wedding ceremony in a foreign land. De Hooghe's use of intricate detail and expressive lines captures the elaborate rituals and diverse characters involved, offering a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch interest in exotic cultures. The composition, framed by palm trees and buildings with a distant cityscape, emphasizes the grandeur and spectacle of the occasion.
