Johan Conrad Greive's "Verbranden van de douanehuisjes op 15 november 1813 in Amsterdam" depicts the burning of the customs houses in Amsterdam during the Napoleonic Wars. The 1876 lithograph portrays a crowd of onlookers, silhouetted against the flames, while the buildings and the night sky are rendered in a detailed and somber style. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into a pivotal historical moment and the Dutch experience during the war.
