About the artwork

This photo captures the warm and inviting atmosphere of an autumnal evening along the Nieuwe Rijn canal in Leiden. The trees along the canal are in full autumnal splendour, with leaves in shades of gold, orange and brown, giving the scene a seasonal charm. A small boat sails quietly through the rippling waters of the canal, illuminated by the soft, warm light of a street lamp that towers over the scene.

On a terrace boat along the quay, people sit together leisurely, enjoying a drink in the crisp autumn air. The light from the lamppost adds a golden glow to the scene, while the reflections in the water give it a lively and dynamic character. The cosiness of the terrace boat contrasts beautifully with the serene calm of the canal and the surrounding trees.

The Nieuwe Rijn, with its combination of historic charm and lively urban cosiness, is at its most beautiful in this transition from day to evening. The warm hues of the autumn leaves, the soft light of the streetlights and the leisurely pace of the boat create a harmonious image where nature and city life come together.

This photo highlights the unique beauty of Leiden in autumn, when the city takes on an inviting and warm atmosphere. It is a reminder of the small moments of peace and cosiness that the season offers, set against the backdrop of a historic city that is always on the move.
