About the piece

Painted in 1831 by Pieter-Frans De Noter, this architectural cityscape captures the historic center of Ghent. The composition leads the eye from the textured stone of the Reep canal and its arched bridge toward the soaring tower of St. Bavo's Cathedral under a soft, cloud-filled sky, reflecting the artist's mastery of light and perspective.
