Gallery Talk: A Sweeping Panorama—Simon de Vlieger’s View of Weesp

Date: 

Tuesday, June 21, 2022, 12:00pm to 12:30pm

Location: 

Harvard Art Museums, 32 Quincy St., Cambridge

Seventeenth-century artist Simon de Vlieger was one of many Dutch draftsmen who captured panoramas of the cities and towns that surrounded them. In his observed and accurate drawing of Weesp, a municipality located outside Amsterdam on the river Vecht, aspects of this recognizable view speak to larger questions of commerce and the environment. Join curatorial research associate Susan Anderson to discover these details within the broader artistic and cultural milieu of landscape drawing in the Dutch Republic.
