This anonymous 18th century print, titled "Gezicht op Keulen," is a detailed depiction of Cologne, Germany. The view is from a distance, showcasing the city's skyline with its numerous churches and towers, including the iconic Cologne Cathedral. The river Rhine winds its way through the cityscape, with small boats navigating its waters. The print includes text surrounding the central image, likely containing descriptive information about the city or its history. This print is an excellent example of the artistic trend of cityscape views popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, offering a glimpse into the urban landscape of a bustling European city.
