Leo Wisselink - Binnenhof 'De Ridderzaal' - Sold

Beautiful high quality work! Framed watercolor by Leo Wisselink. Title: The Knight's Hall. The work is signed at the bottom left, in pencil, by the artist. Leo Wisselink was born in Dordrecht in 1950, did road and hydraulic engineering at the hts in Dordt and visual arts at evening academy St. Joost in Breda and came to live in The Hague in 1984. He didn't know much about the city, except that many officials live there and our queen. He noticed that the rush hour in The Hague is later than in Dordt. Couperus has created the image of The Hague as a dignified city, but civil servants and diplomats do not make up the entire population there. Wisselink wanted to discover for himself what the city was like. This is how he began to capture typical town images and events in a colorful, almost un-Dutch way, in watercolor, but now also in oil paint.
