‘NIJMEGEN’

– Etching of the Stevenskerk in Nijmegen by Hendrik de Laat (1900-1980). This striking architectural study captures the majestic Gothic structure of the Stevenskerk, framed by an urban streetscape under reconstruction. The foreground includes workers, pedestrians, and scaffolding, giving a strong sense of the church’s historical presence amid changing surroundings. Hendrik de Laat was a prominent Dutch artist and printmaker, known for documenting Dutch urban and architectural heritage through etchings and paintings. His attention to light and texture is reminiscent of the Haagse School, which influenced his work. This piece showcases his detailed rendering of architectural elements and the atmospheric quality of the cityscape. Likely created in the mid-20th century, this etching stands as a valuable historical representation of Nijmegen’s iconic landmark.
