Gezicht op Keulen bij avond c. 1896

Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande's etching, "Gezicht op Keulen bij avond" (c. 1896), depicts a nighttime view of Cologne's skyline dominated by the imposing silhouette of the Cologne Cathedral. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic and atmospheric scene, emphasizing the grand scale of the building and the city's enduring presence. The artwork is held in the Rijksmuseum and is a notable example of 19th-century etching, demonstrating the artist's ability to capture the essence of a cityscape with subtle detail and evocative composition.
