EDITORS COMMENTS
Matthijs Maris's painting, titled 'The Nieuwe Haarlemse Sluis at the Singel, known as 'Souvenir d'Amsterdam',' dates back to 1871 and offers a captivating glimpse into the industrial heart of Amsterdam during the late 19th century. The oil on canvas work depicts the Nieuwe Haarlemse Sluis, or New Haarlem Lock, located at the Singel, a historic canal in the Dutch capital. Maris masterfully captures the bustling activity along the waterway, with a variety of vessels, including barges and steamships, navigating the lock and passing through the weir. The industrial landscape is further accentuated by the presence of cranes and other machinery, which were essential for the transportation of goods and the growth of Amsterdam's economy. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, showcasing the rich heritage and history of the Low Countries. The New Haarlem Lock was an integral part of Amsterdam's water transport system, connecting the city to the North Sea and facilitating the movement of goods and people. Maris's work is a testament to the importance of water transport in Amsterdam's history and serves as a reminder of the city's industrial past. Today, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this masterpiece, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The painting is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Amsterdam, industrial design, or the art of Matthijs Maris.
