1882

The Schreierstoren, Amsterdam

Jacob Hendricus Maris

Dutch (active The Hague and London), 1837 - 1899

This painting depicts the northern section of Amsterdam near the harbor, with the steepled building known as the Schreierstoren on the left and the dome of a Lutheran church in the distance. Both buildings survive today. A painter of landscapes and seascapes, Maris was considered the leading Dutch artist of his age.
