All the lakes, rivers, canals, streams, ditches and other watercourses of the Betuwe are depicted on this high-detail yet minimalist map. This is why it is not a land map but a water map. One of the nice things about this type of map is that by only showing the water, other objects on land automatically come to the fore, such as forests, towns and polders. As a water country, the Netherlands is perfect for this.
This artwork has the style royal blue. The background is a dark form of royal blue with a hint of grey. The watercourses are a contrasting cosmic white. It comes into its own in striking colourful interiors or as a contrast in a minimalist interior.
This artwork is also available in the following colour palettes:
Terracotta
