About the artwork

This fascinating photograph shows a unique reflection of the bustling heart of Rotterdam, captured in glass. The city centre around the Laurenskerk, with iconic buildings such as the Library, the Potlood, the Willem-Alexander Bridge and Het Witte Huis, comes to life in this extraordinary rendering. The Laurenskerk, the only remnant of medieval Rotterdam, towers proudly above the modern city. The contrast between the historic church and the contemporary architecture is impressively captured in the reflection.

In the reflective glass, other Rotterdam landmarks also become visible. The striking shape of the Potlood, with its distinctive pointed roof, is unmistakable. This iconic residential building next to the Library attracts attention with its striking architecture. The nearby Willem-Alexander Bridge, which connects Noordereiland to the city, adds a touch of dynamism to the cityscape.

The White House, Europe's first skyscraper and a national monument, also shines in this reflection. This building, with its art nouveau style and rich history, forms an elegant link between the past and modern Rotterdam.

Even the well cover on the Grote Markt, a seemingly mundane element, adds a surprising detail to the composition. This reflection of Rotterdam offers an innovative perspective on the city, merging past and present in a single image. For photographers and art lovers, this shot is an inspiring window into the versatility of Rotterdam's architecture and city life.
