This colourful and detailed illustration shows the monumental De Hef railway bridge in Rotterdam, a feat of industrial engineering art from the early 20th century. The bridge stands out imposingly against a pale blue sky, framed by playfully stylised lines and geometric patterns. The illustration not only captures the robust structure of the steel truss, but also manages to convey the history and grandeur of the structure. De Hef has been a favourite subject for photographers, artists and city dwellers for decades, and this version celebrates its industrial heritage in a modern, almost comic-book style. The details in the water, sky and background give the work a rhythmic cadence reminiscent of technical drawings with an artistic twist. Perfect for lovers of architecture, Rotterdam or industrial design and, above all, a must-have for true Rotterdammers!
