The digital artwork "City Hall of Culemborg" shows the historic city hall, built in 1734, bathed in the warm gold of a summer sun. The facade of the classical building is rendered in rich detail, with ornate windows, a bell gable and ornaments gleaming in the sunlight. A special feature of this composition is that the town hall is depicted mirrored, creating an intriguing balance that enhances the symmetry of the architecture and gives the image a slightly surreal atmosphere.
The grand staircase at the front, with its imposing four stone lions, immediately attracts attention and forms a stately entrance to the building. Their robust forms contrast nicely with the refined lines of the façade. In front of the stairs are two classic lampposts, dark in colour, which add a nostalgic touch with their ornate ironwork and give the square an almost timeless character.
To the right of the composition are two smaller houses. These are less detailed, subtly fading into the background and maintaining the focus on the town hall. Nevertheless, their red-and-white shutters provide a vibrant colour accent that harmonises with the warm tones of the sunlit scene.
The combination of realistic elements and mirroring gives the artwork a poetic quality. It invites the viewer not only to admire the historical beauty of the town hall, but also to reflect on the relationship between reality and imagination.
