The Leaning Tower of Leeuwarden – Hilverdink’s Oldehove Lithograph, 1858
About the Item
Oldehove in Leeuwarden by Johannes Hilverdink after Everhardus Koster, 1858
This 1858 hand-colored lithograph by Johannes Hilverdink, based on the work of Everhardus Koster, beautifully portrays the iconic Oldehove Tower in Leeuwarden, Friesland. Known for its characteristic lean and incomplete construction, the tower stands as a symbol of the city’s architectural history and charm.
The scene captures a harmonious blend of urban and natural elements, with trees, bushes, and cottages surrounding the tower. The inclusion of boats gliding along the waterway adds a sense of tranquility and highlights the historical significance of waterways in Dutch cities. The figures and staffage scattered across the scene animate the composition, emphasizing the daily life and interaction between people and their environment.
The lithograph’s intricate detailing and delicate hand coloring bring out the warmth of the Oldehove Tower’s stonework, the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape, and the serene hues of the sky. The subtle textures and fine rendering of architectural and natural features illustrate the artistry typical of mid-19th-century Dutch city and landscape views.
This print offers an enchanting perspective on Leeuwarden’s cityscape, blending history, architecture, and daily life in a single frame. Ideal for collectors of Amsterdam paper, historical Dutch landmarks, or 19th-century lithographic views, this piece celebrates the enduring legacy of the Oldehove Tower as a cultural and architectural treasure.
