About the artwork

This digital artwork depicts a hushed, almost magical evening in the heart of Utrecht. The sky over the city is deep blue and cloudless, dotted with bright stars floating above like crystals. The rain has just stopped, which can still be seen on the shiny, wet pavement of Zadelstraat. The street surface diffusely reflects the warm light from shop windows and street lamps, creating a lively but subdued atmosphere.

On either side of the street are historic shopfronts. Their illuminated shop windows cast a soft golden light on the shimmering pavement. On the right, the blue-lit signboard of restaurant *Taj Mahal* stands out, a striking colour accent in the work's otherwise warm palette. The people on the street - just a few figures, rendered vaguely and almost silhouetted - enhance the sense of calm and contemplation.

At the centre of the image rises the Dom tower, proudly and brightly lit after its restoration. The tower shines like a beacon in the silent evening, with its details sharply outlined against the starry sky. Through its central placement and the subtle play of light and reflection, the Dom Tower becomes the undisputed focal point, a symbol of history, pride and resilience.

The artwork captures not only a moment in time, but also an atmosphere: the calm after rain, the beauty of light on wet stone, and the timeless presence of the Cathedral in a modern city.
