Gezicht op het Joodse Kerkhof te Ouderkerk 1725 - 1764

"Gezicht op het Joodse Kerkhof te Ouderkerk" (View of the Jewish Cemetery in Ouderkerk) is a detailed etching created by Gerardus Condet between 1725 and 1764. Depicting the Jewish cemetery in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, the artwork offers a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch life and the architectural style of the time. The viewer is presented with a bird's-eye view of the cemetery, showcasing a canal that bisects the scene, bordered by a stone wall and lined with trees. Buildings and a bridge are visible in the background, offering a sense of perspective and depth. Condet's masterful use of line and detail creates a realistic representation of the cemetery, capturing both its serene and solemn atmosphere. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides valuable insights into the history of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and the cultural context of Jewish life in the Netherlands during the 18th century.
