"Gezicht op de Oude Kerk te Amsterdam vanaf de Oudezijds Voorburgwal" is an 1855 lithograph by Johann Gabriel Friedrich Poppel depicting the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam. The print, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, shows a detailed view of the church from the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, with a bridge in the foreground and people bustling along the canal. Poppel, known for his precise architectural drawings, captured the iconic church in its grandeur, showcasing the characteristic Dutch canal houses and the bustling activity of the city. The print's historical and artistic value lies in its realistic portrayal of 19th-century Amsterdam, a key example of urban landscape documentation through printmaking.
