View of Groningen
Pictures by Gerrit Battem and Braun & Hogenberg
Gerrit Battem's seventeenth-century gouache shows Groningen under a pink evening sky, a canal leading into town past trees and walkers. The tallest tower on the skyline is the Martinitoren, which locals fondly call the Old Grey One, and inside sits an old bird's-eye map of the city. For someone who loves Groningen or the Netherlands.
