Grote of Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk in Dordrecht 1867 - 1936

Etha Fles' "Grote of Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk in Dordrecht" is a striking etching depicting the iconic church in Dordrecht, Netherlands. Created between 1867 and 1936, the artwork showcases Fles' masterful use of light and shadow, capturing the church's imposing silhouette against a dramatic, stormy sky. The composition emphasizes the verticality of the structure, drawing the viewer's eye upward towards the church's spire. Fles' use of bold, expressive lines gives the artwork a sense of dynamism and movement, capturing the essence of the Dutch landscape. This artwork, like many of Fles' others, showcases her skill as an etcher and her talent for capturing the beauty of her surroundings.
