Gezicht op een stad 1847 - 1899

"Gezicht op een stad" (View of a City) is a watercolor painting by Jacob Maris, created between 1847 and 1899. The painting showcases a typical Dutch cityscape, featuring a canal, bridges, and a windmill in the distance. The use of muted colors and atmospheric perspective, hallmarks of the Hague School, creates a sense of tranquility and depth. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work exemplifies Maris's mastery of capturing the subtle beauty of everyday scenes.
