EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the "View city gate Landscapes" series titled "City Gate" transports us back to Amsterdam in the late 17th century. The image showcases a bustling scene at the city gate, with figures walking in the foreground, adding life and movement to the composition. On the left side of the frame, we see a beggar, perhaps seeking alms from passersby. His worn-out clothes and downtrodden expression evoke a sense of hardship and poverty. On the right side, a wheelbarrow stands idle, suggesting ongoing construction or trade activities taking place within this vibrant city. This particular print is significant as it marks the first piece in an exquisite series of eight landscapes by Johannes Gronsveld. Known for his mastery of etching techniques, Gronsveld captures every intricate detail with precision on paper measuring 129 mm in height and 177 mm in width. The mention of Gronsveld's name on this object further emphasizes his reputation as an accomplished artist during this period. Dating between 1679 and 1728, these prints provide us with a valuable glimpse into Amsterdam's architectural beauty and urban life during that era
