Anthonie van Teijn

Anthonie van Teijn was an artist active across the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with his documented artistic career spanning the period from 1873 to 1927. His primary focus was draftsmanship, creating detailed topographical and architectural studies that often document urban environments and structures, likely centered around Amsterdam and the Netherlands given the locations referenced in his titles.

Van Teijn is represented in major institutional collections, most notably the Rijksmuseum, which holds eight drawings documenting his output. These works provide historical visual records of specific locales. Noted titles preserved in the collection include Gezicht op de Middenweg met molen De Bijl, Gezicht op de Oudeschans gezien naar de Sint Antoniesluis, Gezicht op de Prinseneilandsgracht, and Gezicht op de Realengracht.

The surviving body of Anthonie van Teijn prints and drawings offers insight into the changing Dutch landscape during his long career. The preservation of these works in established collections ensures their availability for scholarly research. Many institutions today make high-quality prints and downloadable artwork accessible, often placing these historical images into the public domain.
