Gezicht op een hellende straat met aan weerszijden huizen 1562 - 1601

This etching, created between 1562 and 1601 by Johannes or Lucas van Doetechum, depicts a steep, cobbled street lined with intricately detailed buildings. The perspective is exaggerated, creating a sense of depth and drawing the viewer's eye up the street towards a grand structure at the top. The artist's use of light and shadow, coupled with the meticulously rendered architecture, gives the artwork a sense of realism. This piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the Dutch Renaissance style, characterized by its focus on humanism, classical ideals, and the representation of the everyday world.
