Gezicht op Mont Saint-Michel en drie vissers before 1897

"Gezicht op Mont Saint-Michel en drie vissers" (View of Mont Saint-Michel and Three Fishermen), created by Ernest Goethals before 1897, is a small black and white illustration that captures the imposing presence of the Mont Saint-Michel abbey. Goethals's work, a detailed depiction of the architectural monument, highlights the abbey’s strong vertical lines and the surrounding landscape. The illustration's simple composition, with the three fishermen in the foreground, creates a sense of scale and emphasizes the dramatic height of the structure. This work provides a glimpse into the artistic approach to representing this iconic landmark in the late 19th century.
