"Begijnhof in Amsterdam" is a 1925 woodcut by Dutch artist Meijer Bleekrode. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the Begijnhof, a historic courtyard in Amsterdam, with a focus on the building's facade and the lush greenery surrounding it. The artist's bold black and white style, typical of his woodcut works, creates a dramatic and graphic representation of this iconic location. The simplified forms and strong contrasts highlight the architectural details of the building and the density of the foliage, creating a sense of depth and intimacy.
