Gezicht op Arnhem 1690

"Gezicht op Arnhem" (View of Arnhem), created in 1690 by Dutch artist Laurens Vincentsz. van der Vinne, is a detailed pen and ink drawing depicting a panoramic view of the city of Arnhem, Netherlands. The drawing showcases the city's skyline, dominated by the prominent church tower, as it extends along the riverbank. The composition captures the serene beauty of the landscape, with the river winding through the scene, and the surrounding hills and trees adding depth and detail. This work exemplifies van der Vinne's talent for capturing architectural and topographical features, making it a valuable record of 17th-century Dutch urbanism. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the city's history and offers a testament to the artist's meticulous observation and skill.
