Brussel 1888 - 1934

"Brussel" is an etching by Dutch artist Willem Adrianus Grondhout, created between 1888 and 1934. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Grondhout's masterful use of line and tone to depict a cityscape with a distinct sense of atmosphere. The print reveals a panoramic view of Brussels, with prominent buildings and a sprawling landscape in the foreground. Grondhout's use of light and shadow, especially noticeable in the depiction of the buildings, adds depth and dimension to the composition. The etching's subtle details and overall composition offer a glimpse into Grondhout's artistic style and the urban landscape of Brussels during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
