Gezicht op Bergen-op-Zoom 1679

"Gezicht op Bergen-op-Zoom" is an etching by the Dutch artist Gaspar Bouttats (1648-1695). Created in 1679, the print is a panoramic view of the fortified city of Bergen-op-Zoom, featuring a detailed depiction of its architecture, harbor, and surrounding waters. The intricate lines and shading of Bouttats' technique convey the city's grandeur, while the inclusion of boats and figures adds a sense of life and movement to the scene. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this detailed etching offers a valuable glimpse into the city's urban landscape during the 17th century.
