HEYDEN, Jan van der
Painting: The New Town Hall in Amsterdam after
1652 Oil on canvas, 73 x 86 cm Musee du Louvre, Paris This is the second version of the same subject that he completed shortly after the first painting. (The first is in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.) Here the viewpoint is somewhat further to the right and the perspective is different; the foreshortening of the Town Hall's fa?ade is less pronounced, and the lantern's distortion - too strong in the first version - has been corrected. Artist: HEYDEN, Jan van der Painting Title: The New Town Hall in Amsterdam , 1651-1700 Painting Style: Dutch , , landscape
