Gezicht op Feldkirch c. 1643 - 1690

"Gezicht op Feldkirch" is an etching by Matthäus Merian the Elder. Created between 1643 and 1690, the artwork is a detailed bird's-eye view of the town of Feldkirch in Austria. The print shows a clear plan of the town, incorporating the surrounding countryside and bordering hills. The meticulously rendered buildings and layout provide a valuable historical record of urban planning during the 17th century. This etching, now located in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Merian's skill in capturing the architectural and geographic nuances of European towns.
