"Gezicht van den Brand en Beschieten der stad Antwerpen op den 27 october 1830," a lithograph by Willem Hendrik Hoogkamer, depicts the bombardment of Antwerp during the Belgian Revolution. The artist captures the intense drama of the event, with smoke billowing across the sky and flames engulfing the city. The artwork is a historical record of this crucial moment in Belgian history and an example of Hoogkamer's skill in depicting panoramic views of military events. It is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a significant example of 19th-century Dutch lithography.
