Gedenkteken voor Hubert Nicou 1818 - 1820

This print, "Gedenkteken voor Hubert Nicou," by Walraad Nieuwhoff, is a commemorative work of art dedicated to the life of Hubertus Nicou, a pastor in Leiden. The artwork depicts a monument with angels and symbolic figures representing the deceased. It was created between 1818 and 1820, during the Neoclassical period. The print also includes a portrait of Nicou himself, surrounded by a wreath. The inscription below his portrait records his birth and death dates. The artwork is currently located in the Rijksmuseum and is a poignant example of commemorative art in 19th-century Netherlands.
