Samenvatting
A remarkably versatile man, Jan van der Heyden (1637-1712) was the preeminent painter of cityscapes in the Netherlands and the first artist to capture all the beauty of the urban scene.

This is the first book in English devoted to Van der Heyden. It includes recent discoveries about his fascinating life and offers an introduction to his ravishing art.

Often innovative in his composition, he was the first artist to create imaginary scenes by rearranging existing city views and known buildings.
