Het Hof van Putten en de kerk van Geervliet 1749 - 1757

Cornelis Pronk, a prominent Dutch painter known for his detailed depictions of architecture, created this watercolor titled "Het Hof van Putten en de kerk van Geervliet". The work, completed between 1749-1757, captures the Hof van Putten, a fortified manor, and the church of Geervliet, both surrounded by a moat. Pronk's signature precise style is evident in the intricate details of the buildings and the natural landscape. The artwork's muted palette adds to its tranquil mood, depicting a serene moment in the Dutch countryside. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this watercolor provides a glimpse into the architectural and social landscapes of 18th-century Netherlands.
