Getting started with the collection:
View of Luxemburg House at Maarssen on the Vecht
Hermanus Petrus Schouten, 1757 - 1822
Many of Amsterdam’s wealthy merchants had country estates along the River Vecht, similar to Luxemburg House. In this drawing, artist Hermanus Petrus Schouten depicted the house more meticulously than he usually did in his topographical views. Behind the dark foreground and a corner of some other, smaller country estate lies Luxemburg, bathed in gentle sunlight, on the opposite bank of the Vecht.
