About the artwork

This stunning panorama captures the unique architecture of the Dockland building in Hamburg in a picturesque light that hints at early morning or late afternoon. The striking, ship-shaped building looms prominently into the scene, its mirrored glass facades reflecting the soft sky light and the surrounding area. The bold, sloping shape of the Dockland, reminiscent of the bow of a modern ship, dominates the centre of the picture and symbolises Hamburg's maritime identity.

The calm water surface of the harbour basin stretches out in the foreground, its gentle undulations gently distorting the reflections of the sky and the building. On the left-hand side of the picture, a large white cruise liner or passenger ship is moored at the quay, emphasising the dimensions of the harbour and Hamburg's importance as a maritime transport hub.

On the right-hand side of the picture, glowing trails of light stretch across the water - an indication of passing boats or ferries that leave their traces in the twilight and lend the picture a dynamic component. These streaks of light contrast beautifully with the fixed structures of the dockland and the surrounding area. The shoreline is secured with sturdy piles and a stone boundary, emphasising the connection between land and water.

The image captures the elegance and modern spirit of the Port of Hamburg, with the Dockland building shining as an architectural highlight amidst the hustle and bustle and the calming expanse of water.
