The wave comes across the land because the sluice was opened to flood the land. This water line runs across much of the Netherlands from top to bottom to protect North and South Holland from the French who want to conquer our country. This prevents them from coming by land because the water is too deep to walk and too boggy to cross with horses and carts. In the left foreground, you can see the roofs of the houses that have to be protected by the water. This painting was made for an exhibition on the water line. This painting gives a cool feeling because it is painted with blue and tight. It has a lot of depth, something I really like. It was made in a good period. The way this theme is depicted gives me an emotional feeling. If one likes the colour blue; geometric tight; silence; historical event or lives near a part of the water line, it appeals to those people.
