Derde Heiligewegspoort te Amsterdam 1636 - 1664

"Derde Heiligewegspoort te Amsterdam" is a detailed pencil drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Anthonie Waterloo. The drawing depicts a view of the Third Heiligewegspoort, a historic bridge in Amsterdam, built in 1636 and demolished in 1664. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Waterloo's meticulous attention to detail, with precise lines capturing the architectural features of the bridge and surrounding buildings. The serene composition, dominated by the canal and the city's skyline, reflects a common theme in Waterloo's works, exploring the harmonious relationship between man-made structures and the natural world.
