"A View of Rotterdam with the Laurens Church in the Background" is an oil painting by the British artist James Thomas Watts (1853–1930). Watts, known for his landscape and architectural paintings, captured the essence of the Dutch cityscape through this artwork. The painting depicts a serene and detailed portrayal of Rotterdam, with the prominent Gothic Laurenskerk, or St. Lawrence Church, rising in the background. The church, a symbol of the city's rich history and resilience, having survived the devastation of World War II, provides a focal point around which the daily life of the city unfolds.

The composition likely dates from the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when Watts was active and when Rotterdam was undergoing significant urban development. The painting is characteristic of Watts' attention to light and atmosphere, with the architectural elements of the city rendered with precision and care. The use of perspective and the interplay between light and shadow demonstrate Watts' skill in capturing the vibrancy of urban scenes.

"A View of Rotterdam with the Laurens Church in the Background" not only offers a glimpse into the historical appearance of Rotterdam but also reflects the broader European interest in cityscapes and architectural painting during the period. The work is significant for its artistic merit and as a historical record of the city before the extensive damage it suffered during the Second World War. The painting is a testament to Watts' ability to convey the spirit of a place through his art, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the cultural heritage of Rotterdam.
