With original hand colouring. Size: 41 x 54 cm.<\/p>\n<p>In 18th century Amsterdam there was a fish market at the end of the Damrak (the canal from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IJ_(Amsterdam)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IJ<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dam_Square\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dam square<\/a>) on the edge of the Dam square. In this picturesque scene there are fishmongers in a dozen boats busy with their baskets and nets. A jetty leads to the actual market. Larger boats are moored on the other side of the water, where they unload their goods to be weighed in the so called &#8216;weigh house&#8217; that stood in the middle of the Dam square. After weighing the goods were distributed through the city, there are horses with carriages (<a href=\"https:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sleepkoets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">without wheels<\/a>) waiting for their loads. Behind it there is the famous Amsterdam town hall (now <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Royal_Palace_of_Amsterdam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">royal palace<\/a>) one of the 17th century wonders of the world. (The weigh house was demolished by king <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louis_Bonaparte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lodewijk Napoleon<\/a> in 1808 because it obstructed his view from the palace.)<\/p>\n<p>This rare (!!) view of Amsterdam is different than most other views. The scene is more natural, the city is not so perfect, even a bit dirty, the buildings seem to be subject to some decay and figures are like charicatures, a genre with which <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thomas_Rowlandson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Rowlandson<\/a> (1756 -1827) would become famous. With this view of Amsterdam Rowlandson made good representation of urban life in a time\u00a0Amsterdam was going through a deep economic recession.<\/p>\n<p>The fish maket had to make way for the <a href=\"https:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beurs_van_Zocher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new Amsterdam stock exchange<\/a> which was built there in the 1840s. Today the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/De_Bijenkorf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bijenkorf<\/a> department store stands on this location.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro 2.950,- (incl. incl. frame)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FISH MARKET IN AMSTERDAM Etching and aquatint after a drawing by Thomas Rowlandson, published by Rudolph Ackermann in 1797.
