Gezicht op een rivier en een kerk 1837 - 1855

"Gezicht op een rivier en een kerk" (View of a River and a Church) is a black and white lithograph by Hermanus Johannes van den Hout. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a picturesque Dutch canal scene. The prominent church with a tall spire dominates the composition, with a row of buildings and a single tree on the right side of the canal. Van den Hout’s detailed and realistic style captures the serenity of the river and the surrounding cityscape. This print, created between 1837 and 1855, offers a glimpse into Dutch urban landscapes of the 19th century.
