EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent gate of the Amsterdamse Schouwburg on Keizersgracht. Designed by Jacob van Campen, this city theater was built in place of the Dutch German Academy of Samuel Coster and opened its doors on December 26,1637. The building underwent significant renovations in 1665 but tragically burned down in 1772. In this image, taken between 1760 and 1772 by Simon Fokke, we see the grandeur of the gate against a backdrop that includes a bridge connecting Huidenstraat and Runstraat. The bustling street below is filled with various figures and carriages, adding life to the cityscape. The print showcases both Dutch and French titles at its bottom, emphasizing its cultural significance. Numbered as "19" in the top right corner, it offers a glimpse into an era when theaters held great importance as centers for entertainment and artistic expression. Measuring at approximately 281mm in height and 382mm in width, this paper engraving from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a time when Amsterdam's Schouwburg Keizersgracht stood proudly as a symbol of theatrical excellence. It serves as a reminder of both architectural beauty lost to history and our enduring fascination with capturing moments frozen in time through art.
