Stadsgezicht met brug en kerk 1885 - 1940

"Stadsgezicht met brug en kerk" (Cityscape with bridge and church), an etching by Johan Hendrik van Mastenbroek, captures a quintessential Dutch scene. The detailed depiction of a drawbridge, a church spire, and quaint canal-side buildings evokes the charm of a traditional Dutch town. Created between 1885 and 1940, the print showcases Mastenbroek's skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow, imbuing the cityscape with a sense of atmosphere. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of Dutch urban landscapes.
