About the Item
Amsterdam Maritime Shipyard View by Schelfhout, 19th Century Lithograph
This evocative 19th-century lithograph titled 'Le Chantier d’Amsterdam' (The Shipyard of Amsterdam) offers a peaceful view of the city’s bustling maritime heart. Drawn by Schelfhout and printed by Jobard, it depicts the lively shipbuilding and trading activity that characterized Amsterdam’s Golden Age and beyond.
The scene captures a tranquil moment at the shipyard, with sailing vessels gently anchored at the quay and a few figures in boats navigating the calm waters. On the left side of the composition, we see the wooden structures typical of Amsterdam’s waterfront, while to the right stands a stately warehouse building, a testament to the city’s commercial strength and elegant architecture. The soft, delicate lines and expertly rendered reflections on the water emphasize the lithograph’s refined artistry.
This lithograph would have been part of a series of city views that were popular souvenirs and decorative prints in 19th-century homes, reflecting pride in local heritage and the romantic allure of the waterfront. Collectors and admirers of maritime history will appreciate the lithograph’s subtle detail and historical resonance, evoking a time when Amsterdam was at the center of global trade and innovation.
