67. A View of the Mount de Calvaire, at Cologne, and
surrounding buildings. On the right, and close to the front,
is a plain brick church with two entrances; beyond it is a
second church with a square tower; and still farther are a
convent, and three crucifixes on an eminence: the steeple of a
third church is seen above the buildings in the distance.
Various groups of figures, introduced by Eglon Vander Neer,
are judiciously distributed over the view: the nearest of these
to the spectator consists of three girls, standing close to the
portico of the brick church; a little retired from these are a
blind man, a boy, and a dog; and still farther are two priests :
two ladies and gentlemen, and a beggar boy, are beyond them.
This is an exquisite performance.

a treatise on fortifications; two globes, and a sphere, are also
on the table. Three chairs, one of which is of an antique
form, are in the room. A variety of other objects, some of
which relate to the artist’s employment, as inventor of fire
engines and inspector of fortifications, are in the apartment;
and upon a candelabrum, in front of the table, is inscribed,
“ J. V. Heyden, oud 74.”
