Geldersekade in Amsterdam 1851 - 1924

"Geldersekade in Amsterdam" is a lithograph by Carel Nicolaas Storm van 's-Gravesande, created between 1851 and 1924. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, portrays a serene view of the Geldersekade in Amsterdam, with a lone figure in a boat traversing the calm waters. The artist's meticulous use of black and white tones renders the city's skyline and the reflection of the buildings on the water with striking clarity. Van 's-Gravesande's skillful depiction of light and shadow highlights the details of the city's architecture and the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. This piece captures the beauty of Amsterdam's cityscape and the tranquility of its canals.
