A View in Cologne, Jan van der Heyden (possibly with help on the figures by Adriaen van de Velde).
The structure on top of the cathedral (unfinished at the time) is a crane.
In the National Gallery, London. Use the fullscreen and zoom controls to the right of the image.
I haven’t seen the original painting, but in this photograph it looks a bit distorted to me, particularly in the lower left, as though the photo was taken from an angle below the painting.
Still, a beautiful painting, very evocative of time and place.
