Antique View of the Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam, Hand-Colored Lithograph c.1850

About the Item

Antique View of the Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam, Hand-Colored Lithograph c.1850 This beautiful mid-19th century hand-colored lithograph offers an atmospheric view of the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) in Amsterdam, one of the city’s most significant and historic landmarks. The scene captures the vibrant life around Dam Square, with figures in period attire, a horse-drawn tram, and the impressive Gothic architecture of the church itself. The lithograph was published by Frans Buffa & Zonen, a renowned Amsterdam-based publisher of fine prints and lithographs. The Nieuwe Kerk, built in the 15th century, has long been a center of civic and ceremonial life in Amsterdam. Its imposing structure and pointed Gothic windows dominate the composition, while the surrounding buildings and bustling square highlight the city’s urban vibrancy during the 19th century. This print combines architectural precision with the picturesque charm typical of 19th-century city views, offering a romantic and detailed glimpse into Amsterdam’s rich history. Drawn by C. Springer and lithographed by T. Fontaine, this work reflects the 19th-century fascination with topographical accuracy and lively genre scenes. The soft hand coloring, featuring warm earth tones and subtle sky gradients, adds depth and realism to the overall composition. These qualities make it not only a beautiful decorative print but also a valuable historical document of daily life in Amsterdam during this period. This lithograph is perfect for collectors of Amsterdam cityscapes, antique architectural prints, or 19th-century European lithographs. It also adds a refined and classic touch to any interior, complementing both traditional and transitional decor styles. Condition report: Good condition. Clear image and rich hand coloring well-preserved. Brownish edge toning and a few light spots in the margins. No tears or repairs. Wide margins and strong plate lines add to the piece’s authenticity. Framing tips: Frame in warm walnut or classic black to complement the architectural tones. Use a soft cream or pale grey mat to highlight the hand coloring. UV-protective glass is recommended to maintain vibrancy and prevent fading.
