About the Item

Title: Amsterdam View with Ships and Ice Skaters - Vue d’Amsterdam This exquisite 19th-century lithograph titled Vue d’Amsterdam, prise de Saardam, showcases a picturesque winter scene along the waterways of Amsterdam. Created by the renowned artist J. Meyer d'Amsterdam and lithographed by A. Mesnel, this charming print captures the tranquil beauty of the city’s icy canals and maritime activity. The composition features a detailed depiction of ships at anchor, with figures of ice skaters and pedestrians traversing the frozen waterways, evoking a nostalgic atmosphere of winter in the Netherlands. The lithograph’s soft shading and delicate linework highlight the ethereal quality of the snowy landscape. The artist’s skillful handling of light and texture brings a serene and realistic dimension to the print, making it a striking example of 19th-century topographical art. Such scenes were popular at the time, offering viewers a glimpse of urban life and leisure during the cold season. The combination of maritime elements with the frozen canals creates a harmonious balance that is both historically significant and artistically pleasing. This lithograph is a must-have for collectors interested in antique Dutch prints, maritime history, and winter landscapes. Its evocative scene captures the essence of Amsterdam’s charm and the spirit of the 19th century. The artwork’s historical and aesthetic appeal makes it a perfect addition to any collection of European city views or maritime art. Condition report: In good antique condition with mild age-related foxing and a few faint creases at the margins. The central image remains strong, clear, and beautifully detailed.
