Ode to the Dutch Masters in a life-sized sand sculpture at the Buitenhof in The Hague’s city centre.
My favourite Netherlander painter...
Vermeer, The Milkmaid

These sculptures will be The Hague’s contribution to the national ‘Holland Art Cities’ theme, which places the Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Vermeer in the spotlight.
Let's play ;-)
Which paintings are represented here? ;-)

Oh Sandra, I know my Dutch art only by sight, but I am not fluent in the NAMES of the artists.....this is divine...the Dutch are the masters of such a beautiful and almost untouchable form of painting. One could try to imitate, but the realism caught in these moments of artistic achievement are captured in time and made famous by this incredible culture of people. LOVELY!!! Anita
Fantastic! I hadn't heard about this! And Den Haag is, from the Randstad, my favourite NL city too. The best though, I still think is Maastricht ;D
I'll risk a guess for the 2nd. sculpture, and say it's inspired in Il Bosco's Garden of Earthly Delights, bec. you can see like a monster eating people and other beasts from Hell?
Very interesting, Sandrinha! Well done!
Que fotografias e esculturas fantásticas.
Bom sábado e obrigada pela sua visita.
