The Artwork
On the side of this shop in the Vriesestraat, you can gasp at a mural based on a famous painting by Dutch Grandmaster Aelbert Cuyp called 'Gezicht op Dordrecht' which roughly translates to 'Facing Dordrecht' which was painted in approx. 1655.
The Artist
This mural is done by artist Marinde Molendijk. Marinda is classicly schooled on the Willem de Kooning academy of art in Rotterdam, and loves to paint. She also gives painting classes according to her website.
