Morning at the Eiffel Tower

"Morning at the Eiffel Tower" - an appropriated work inspired by the work of Jean Béraud. A beautiful contemporary artwork with a unique composition.

The Eiffel Tower (French: la tour Eiffel) is a monument in Paris and one of France's best known and most visited landmarks. It stands on the left bank of the Seine in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

The Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris and is considered by many to be one of the Non-classical Wonders of the World. The tower received more than six million visitors annually between 2011 and 2017, making it the most visited monument in the world for which a ticket must be purchased. On November 28, 2002, the Eiffel Tower welcomed its 200 millionth guest.

Designed by engineers Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier, two associates of Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built on the occasion of the 1889 World's Fair in Paris.

On the first platform there is an exhibition about the Eiffel Tower with photos, paintings and information. It is possible to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower by elevator (the stairs are not publicly accessible above the second platform). Information panels indicate which buildings can be seen from the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower is 317 meters high to the top of the flagpole, not counting the television antennas. With the DAB+ antennas installed on March 15, 2022, the tower is 330 meters high. Depending on the ambient temperature, the tower can change in height by 15 cm due to the expansion or contraction of the metal.[4] The tower has four legs; platforms are located at different levels. The tower weighs 7300 tons (excluding the foundation). After its construction, the Eiffel Tower was the world's tallest tower and it remained the tallest tower in Europe, apart from television towers, for 126 years.

Contemporary images and even those from the past inspire me to recycle them for re-actionary contemporary impressionist art. My drawings and paintings are sketch impressions in a loose and free style, the paintings in a colorful palette. I also produce collages and digital artworks or find new inspirations and compositions through paint strokes from existing works. I work fast, from emotion, averse to perfection, careful not to lapse into details and endless fiddling.

Compositions in an almost unfinished state, works that are part of the contemporary impressionist incentive. Evolving towards a more questioning abstract essential contemporary expressive impressionism.

With the internet we are overloaded with thousands of images a day, wonderful. But does original art on the wall still have a future? Yes, you can touch them, feel them, smell them. Paintings and drawings that move and stimulate you, that give you attention and immerse you every day in a bath of total relaxation and pleasure. People say that I am one of the most appreciated and renowned post-war art painters from South Limburg. I sell my original works all over the world. I very much appreciate the cooperation with Werk aan de Muur / Oh my Prints because my originals are now also available for everyone through excellent, high quality re-productions.
