Huis te Vliet bij Lopikerkapel 1701

This detailed black and white engraving, “Huis te Vliet bij Lopikerkapel,” created by Dutch artist Daniël Stopendaal in 1701, showcases a grand estate with a formal garden and a stately manor house. The image, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the architecture and landscape design of the Dutch Golden Age. Stopendaal's meticulous attention to detail highlights the symmetrical design of the building and the carefully arranged trees and hedges. The figures in the foreground add a sense of scale and emphasize the grandeur of the house. This work is a prime example of the Dutch tradition of architectural illustration.
