Gezicht op Sallanches 1697

Johannes de Ram's "Gezicht op Sallanches," a detailed etching from 1697, depicts the town of Sallanches in the French Alps. The view, a bird's-eye perspective, shows the town nestled between mountains and a winding river. The foreground is dense with trees, while the background features the majestic snow-capped peaks. The piece is a testament to the precision and beauty of 17th-century etching, showcasing the artistic skill of Johannes de Ram, a Dutch artist. The print's careful detail provides a valuable visual record of the town's appearance in the late 17th century.
