"Gezicht op Bacharach" is an anonymous etching from after 1657, depicting a panoramic view of the town of Bacharach in Germany. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a detailed perspective of the town nestled along the Rhine River, capturing its hilly landscape, fortified structures, and surrounding natural beauty. This etching, with its precise lines and detailed rendering, exemplifies the popularity of city views in 17th-century European art.
