Stefan Bleekrode is a talented artist with an impressive memory.

The Dutch artist draws incredibly detailed cityscapes solely from memory after spending a limited amount of time in a given city.

He has done impeccable drawings of Paris, New York, Naples and Prague, just to name a few.

The drawings aren’t direct recreations of the cities, but rather impressionistic renderings. Still, they’re pretty close to the actual locations.

It can take Bleekrode up to six months on a given drawing, but the finished product is worth it. The drawings are gorgeous and really evoke the personality of the portrayed city.

Check out some of Bleekrode’s work below.
