"Gezicht vanaf de Zuiderkerk naar het westen van Amsterdam" (View from the Zuiderkerk to the west of Amsterdam) is a lithograph by Augustus Wijnantz, depicting a panoramic view of the city of Amsterdam from the Zuiderkerk. This artwork, dated circa 1830-1860, showcases the city's architecture, including its characteristic canal houses and churches, and provides a glimpse into the cityscape of 19th-century Amsterdam. The detailed rendering of the cityscape, including the intricate network of waterways and the vast expanse of buildings, exemplifies Wijnantz's skill as a landscape artist. Today, the lithograph is housed at the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its cultural and historical significance.
