Gezicht op de achterzijde van de Munt en Munttoren in Amsterdam 1804

This etching, created by Willem Writs in 1804, is a detailed view of the Munttoren and the adjacent buildings in Amsterdam. The print showcases Writs' talent for capturing architectural detail, as seen in the intricate depiction of the tower's clock and the surrounding structures. While Writs died in 1786, this artwork was published posthumously, likely by his estate. The piece is an excellent example of the Dutch tradition of cityscape views, showcasing the urban landscape of Amsterdam in the early 19th century. The etching is currently held by the Rijksmuseum, providing insight into the city's history and architectural development.
