About the artwork

Escape from the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the unique charm of the Japanese Garden in Clingendael, a hidden gem in The Hague. This exclusive photo captures the enchanting atmosphere of this national monument: ancient mosses, graceful Japanese bridges, mirrored ponds and carefully placed stone lanterns combine to create an almost fairy-tale tranquillity.

The Japanese Garden was laid out around 1910 by Marguérite M. Baronesse van Brienen, also known as Freule Daisy. She brought from Japan lanterns, stone sculptures, water troughs, and even exotic plants. In doing so, she created the largest and oldest Japanese garden in the Netherlands. Since 2001, the garden has officially been a national monument, and because it is so fragile, it is only open a few weeks a year. That is exactly what makes a picture like this so valuable: you can enjoy this rare piece of Japanese culture in the Netherlands all year round, which you can only rarely experience, but which nevertheless attracts more than 1 million visitors a year.

A landscape like this is not only beautiful to look at, it also brings tranquillity. Research shows that images of nature in the home or office contribute to greater relaxation and focus. This shot of the Japanese Garden captures exactly that feeling: a moment of stillness, balance and harmony.
