Gezicht op het Belvédère in Nijmegen 1809 - 1845

"Gezicht op het Belvédère in Nijmegen" is a hand-colored lithograph by Johannes Franciscus Christ, created between 1809 and 1845. The artwork depicts a picturesque view of the Belvédère, a tower overlooking the Dutch city of Nijmegen. Christ, known for his precise and detailed landscapes, captures the architectural details of the tower, the surrounding greenery, and the river flowing in the distance. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the cityscape of Nijmegen in the early 19th century and is a testament to the artist's skillful use of color and perspective in capturing the essence of a place.
