Vincent van Gogh's View of Het Steen (1885, Antwerp, Belgium) captures a vibrant Cityscape scene with expressive brushwork and vivid hues. Though primarily an oil painting, the artwork demonstrates van Gogh's mastery of Realism in portraying the historic castle of Het Steen along with surrounding architecture. His technique often involved sketching initial outlines with Pencil and Chalk, which he would then develop with thick layers of Ink and oil paints. The composition embodies van Gogh’s dynamic style, emphasizing emotional intensity over precise detail, making it a compelling representation of 19th-century Belgian city life.
