Gezicht op de Scheierstoren te Amsterdam 1847 - 1891

"Gezicht op de Scheierstoren te Amsterdam" is an etching by Dutch artist Johan Conrad Greive, created between 1847 and 1891, now held in the Rijksmuseum. The etching captures a view of the Scheierstoren, a 17th-century tower in Amsterdam, seen from a canal, with buildings lining the banks. Greive, a specialist in etching, used this technique to create a detailed, atmospheric depiction of the city. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the scene, typical of the Dutch Romantic style of the 19th century.
