About the artwork

Experience the enchantment of Amsterdam in autumn, captured in this masterful cityscape of the iconic Prinsengracht canal, one of the four main canals of Amsterdam's ring of canals.

In this atmospheric image, the warm autumn colours of the trees along the water's edge, the charming houseboats, and the historic canal houses reflect the city's soul. On the horizon is the majestic Westertoren, the proud beacon of the Jordaan, with its chimes that have watched over the city since the 17th century.

The Prinsengracht was dug in the 17th century during the Golden Age, when Amsterdam grew into the economic heart of Europe. Named after Prince William of Orange, the canal, together with Keizersgracht and Herengracht, forms the world-famous Grachtengordel, included on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2010.

The Westertoren, part of the Westerkerk, is one of the city's most famous symbols. At 85 metres tall, it is still the tallest church tower in Amsterdam and symbolises freedom and creativity - values that still define the soul of the city today.
