The composition is divided into two distinct panels, each documenting a specific defensive structure that once defined the city perimeter. The upper panel depicts the Sint-Antoniespoort, a gatehouse that later evolved into the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt. The lower panel shows the Rondeel, a fortification featuring the Kolveniersdoelen tower and the surrounding city walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoeree, a prolific Dutch draughtsman and engraver, produced these images to illustrate historical accounts of the city. His technique relies on precise line work to define the masonry of the gatehouse and the textures of the water and sky. The inclusion of small figures in the foreground, such as the boatmen in the lower scene and pedestrians near the gate, provides a sense of scale and daily activity. These prints are characteristic of the topographical documentation popular in the Netherlands during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, where artists sought to preserve the appearance of medieval architecture for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe etching demonstrates a clear, observational approach to architectural rendering. The artist employs cross-hatching to create shadow and depth, particularly in the rendering of the clouds and the reflections on the water. By presenting these structures as they appeared in 1544, Goeree connects the viewer to the urban development of Amsterdam, showing how the city transitioned from a fortified medieval settlement to a major commercial centre. The work is a fine example of the intersection between historical research and printmaking, offering a window into the physical transformation of the Dutch capital over several centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/het-stadhuis-en-de-grote-kerk-te-hasselt-cornelis-springer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHet Stadhuis en de Grote Kerk te Hasselt - Cornelis Springer — Cornelis Springer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Goeree","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58600952234319,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58600964849999,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58600964882767,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58600964915535,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58600964948303,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58600964981071,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58600965013839,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58600965046607,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58600965079375,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58600965112143,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58600965144911,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58600965177679,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gezicht-op-de-Sint-Antoniespoort-en-het-Rondeel-te-Amsterdam_Poster_CompositorV1_1788038184094.jpg?v=1788038715","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/gezicht-op-de-sint-antoniespoort-en-het-rondeel-te-amsterdam-jan-goeree","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
