"Capturing the Beauty of Architecture: An External View Building Showcase" Step into a world where art meets architecture as we explore a captivating collection of external view buildings. From grand palaces to humble town gates, each piece tells its own unique story through the brushstrokes and engravings that bring them to life. Philip IV and his Queen in a Colonnade, c. 1630 (oil on canvas) transports us back to the opulence of the 17th century, showcasing regal figures amidst an elegant colonnade. The Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem (oil on panel) takes us on a spiritual journey with its intricate depiction of this sacred site. A Town Gate in Leerdam, c. 1868-70 (oil on canvas) invites us to wander through history's doorways while The Ford Crossing, c. 1703-70 (oil on canvas) immerses us in rustic charm with its idyllic countryside scene. The big horse, 1564 (engraving), captures the power and grace of these magnificent creatures while The Dam in Amsterdam with the new Town Hall under Construction, 1652-89 (oil on canvas), showcases bustling city life against a backdrop of architectural progress.
