Studieblad, onder andere met een straatgezicht 1890 - 1946

This is a study sheet with street views, made by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, using pen and ink. Cornelis Vreedenburgh's sketches offer a glimpse into the Netherlands of the early 20th century through the lens of its urban environments. His choice of subject is telling: the streets, buildings, and everyday scenes suggest an interest in the lived experiences of the Dutch populace. We see a range of architectural styles, reflecting the diverse social fabric of the time. It invites us to consider questions about urban planning, social class, and the evolving character of Dutch cities. To fully appreciate Vreedenburgh's work, it’s worth exploring historical archives, urban development plans, and the writings of social commentators from that period. These sketches can provide valuable insights into the social, cultural, and institutional forces that shaped the Netherlands.
