Stadsgezicht met stadhuis en de Waag te Amsterdam 1782

Cornelis Brouwer’s 1782 etching, “Stadsgezicht met stadhuis en de Waag te Amsterdam,” depicts a bustling scene in front of Amsterdam's city hall and Weigh House. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch urban landscape art, capturing the city’s lively atmosphere and architectural grandeur. The detailed rendering of buildings, figures, and carriages, along with a serene sky, showcases Brouwer's skilled use of line and perspective.
