Gezicht op Leeuwarden 1858

Johann Gabriel Friedrich Poppel's 1858 print, "Gezicht op Leeuwarden," depicts a panoramic view of the Dutch city of Leeuwarden. The print showcases the cityscape as seen from a river, with a prominent tower rising above the surrounding buildings. The scene is rendered in a detailed, almost photographic style, highlighting Poppel's skill in capturing architectural and natural elements with precision. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a valuable glimpse into the 19th-century cityscape of Leeuwarden.
