About the artwork
The Wijnhaven (Wine Harbour) in Rotterdam is part of the maritime district, traditionally also referred to as the Water Town. The harbour was part of the city's expansion in the early seventeenth century, and for over three hundred years, the Wijnhaven was bustling with activity. Many of the buildings along the quays were warehouses and workshops. But people also lived here, mostly the wealthier Rotterdammers.
All this came to an end with the bombing of 14 May 1940. After the war, the Water Town was rebuilt but the liveliness of before did not return; it became a dull office district.
But over the past twenty years, Wijnhaven has regained its old allure. Along the quays are historic ships and instead of offices, there are now modern residential towers.
This photo was taken on an afternoon in October during the golden hour. The leaves of the chestnut trees on the quay, already beautifully tinted by autumn, turn golden brown. The yellow jetty of the water taxi and the red lightship provide powerful colour accents.
We can also see the college building on the far left and the residential towers (from left to right) 100hoog, The Muse, Casanova and Our Domain. On the far right, just a sliver of the famous White House can be seen.
