Gezicht op de stad Lissabon 1694 - 1737

"Gezicht op de stad Lissabon" is a detailed, bird's-eye view cityscape of Lisbon, Portugal, created by Pieter van den Berge in 1694-1737. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the city's layout, including its sprawling streets, bustling harbor, and surrounding hills. Van den Berge's meticulous depiction, a blend of architectural accuracy and artistic flourish, captures the dynamic energy of the city and its importance as a major port. This work exemplifies the artistic trend of 17th-century cityscapes, which sought to document and celebrate the urban environment.
