Portugese Synagoge te Amsterdam, ca. 1790 Possibly 1786 - 1825

Carel Frederik Bendorp's "Portugese Synagoge te Amsterdam" is a detailed depiction of the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This 18th-century aquatint, created sometime between 1786 and 1825, showcases the grandeur of the synagogue's architecture, with its prominent facade and surrounding buildings. Bendorp's use of color and perspective captures the bustling activity of the city streets, with figures traversing the cobblestone pathways. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document illustrating the architectural and social landscape of Amsterdam during this period.
