This 18th-century etching by Dutch artist Hendrik Spilman showcases two views of the Namur Citadel in Belgium. The top image presents a panoramic vista of the fortress, nestled among a cityscape, while the bottom view offers a closer perspective from within its walls. Spilman's meticulous detail captures the architectural grandeur of the citadel, a testament to his skill in representing historical and geographical sites. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into 18th-century architectural design and urban life.
