Gezicht op Montfoort 1744 - 1784

"Gezicht op Montfoort" is an etching by Hendrik Spilman, a Dutch artist, depicting a view of the city of Montfoort. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, features a windmill prominently in the center foreground, along with a church spire visible in the distance. The detailed depiction of the city's landscape and the windmill's intricate machinery exemplify Spilman's skill in capturing architectural details and natural elements. This view of Montfoort, created between 1744 and 1784, offers a glimpse into the Dutch landscape and urban life of the 18th century.
