Riviergezicht in een stad bij nacht 1849 - 1883

"Riviergezicht in een stad bij nacht" is an etching by Belgian artist Egide François Leemans, created between 1849 and 1883. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a moonlit cityscape with a river, a characteristic feature of the artist's work. This evocative nighttime scene showcases Leemans' mastery of etching techniques, using subtle shading and detailed lines to create a sense of atmosphere and depth, as seen in the reflections on the water. The etching's small size (153 mm x 120 mm) adds to its intimacy and invites viewers to engage with its quiet beauty.
