About "Grand Canal du Nord"

by BFQ - CTRL+ALT+ART

About the artwork

This work is a colourful tribute to Napoleon's visionary but never completed plan to build the Grand Canal du Nord - a water link that should have united the Netherlands, Belgium and France. In the image, we see a dreamy Napoleon with his eyes closed, as if he still sees his unfinished dream before him. Around his head, canals meander, connecting cities and buildings: a symbolic map of what could have been.

The watercolour combines historical precision with playful imagination. Familiar buildings from the Low Countries float like islands in a network of blue-green waterways. The background in shades of yellow-green gives the scene an almost surreal energy - the line between dream and reality blurs.

The inspiration for this work comes from a fascination with forgotten history: grand plans that never came to fruition, but which still capture the imagination. What if this canal had indeed been completed? How different would Europe's trade, culture and politics have been then?

The atmosphere is curious, slightly ironic and poetic. In an interior, this work attracts attention with its wealth of detail and imagination - perfect for those who love history, art and "what if" stories.
