Gezicht op de Amsterdamse Vaart te Haarlem 1742 - 1801

This 18th-century print by Georg Balthasar Probst, titled "Gezicht op de Amsterdamse Vaart te Haarlem," depicts a view of the canal connecting Haarlem to Amsterdam. The detailed, bird's-eye perspective offers a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch life, featuring figures traveling by foot, horseback, and boat. The prominent Haarlem skyline with its churches and windmills showcases the city's historic character. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable record of Dutch urban landscapes and daily life during the 1700s.
