The New Town Hall in Amsterdam after 1652 Oil on canvas, 73 x 86 cm Musee du Louvre, Paris This is the second version of the same subject that he completed shortly after the first painting.

He designed and implemented a comprehensive street-lighting scheme for Amsterdam, which lasted from 1669 until 1840 and was adopted as a model by many other towns in the Netherlands and abroad. In 1672,
