Stadsgezicht 1873 - 1932

"Stadsgezicht" (Cityscape), a watercolor painting by Wilhelmus Johannes Steenhoff, depicts a view of a canal in a Dutch city. The artist was known for his urban landscapes, often featuring waterways and traditional buildings. This work, created between 1873 and 1932, demonstrates Steenhoff's use of muted colors and loose brushstrokes to capture the atmosphere of the scene. The reflection of the buildings in the water adds depth and tranquility to the composition. "Stadsgezicht" is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the artist's unique perspective on Dutch cityscape.
