Adam Perelle's 1669 etching, "Gezicht op de Catharinakerk in Stockholm," depicts a bird's-eye view of the St. Catherine's Church in Stockholm, Sweden. The detailed engraving showcases the church's architecture, including its intricate facade and tall spire, against a backdrop of the surrounding cityscape. Perelle's work exemplifies the 17th-century Dutch tradition of cityscapes, offering viewers a glimpse into the urban fabric of Stockholm during this period. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a valuable historical record of this important landmark.
