Vestingstad aan zee 1613 - 1695

"Vestingstad aan zee" (Fortified City by the Sea) is an etching created by Nicolas Perelle, a French artist known for his detailed cityscapes and landscapes. Dated between 1613 and 1695, the artwork depicts a circular view of a fortified city on the coast, with a prominent tree in the foreground and a calm sea in the background. Perelle's intricate detail captures the architectural elements of the city, the natural landscape, and the human presence. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Perelle's contribution to the art of landscape engraving.
