Panoramic view of the Amstel looking toward Amsterdam

Panoramic view of the Amstel looking toward Amsterdam is a 17th-century oil on canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Jacob van Ruisdael.

In the centre is a road with several figures; on the river are a raft of timber and a small vessel, from which a gun is being fired.

One may distinguish the Westerkerk, the town-hall, the Zuiderkerk, and Oude Kerk, as well as the great synagogue.

[1] Based on the presence of certain buildings Slive estimated that the undated painting was made between 1671 and 1681.

The drawing that served as a preliminary study for this painting, and a similar one that is in the Philips-de Jongh Collection, is at Leipzig.
