This anonymous engraving, created between 1738 and 1744, depicts the Saint-Albanus Cathedral in Namur, Belgium. The detailed etching showcases the cathedral's impressive facade, with its tall spire reaching towards a cloudy sky. The artist has captured the grandeur of the building, highlighting its architectural details and the surrounding landscape. This print is a valuable record of the cathedral's appearance in the 18th century. The inscription "Namen" at the top of the engraving identifies the location and serves as a testament to the importance of this religious structure in the city.
