"Gezicht op de grote laan van huis Petersburg" (1719) by Daniël Stopendaal is an etching depicting a view of the Grand Alley of the Summer Gardens in Saint Petersburg. The Dutch artist, known for his architectural prints, depicts a formal garden lined with tall trees, a central path, and a fountain at the far end. The detailed perspective and precise rendering of the trees are characteristic of Stopendaal’s style, and the scene is further enriched by the inclusion of small figures strolling along the path. This etching is a historic and artistic representation of a significant landmark in Russia's early imperial period.
