Toren met een koepeldak 1890 - 1946

Cornelis Vreedenburgh made this drawing of a tower with a dome roof with pencil on paper. Look at the delicacy of those lines! There’s a gentle confidence to the architecture, the dome, the windows, and the soft curves. I imagine Cornelis standing there with his sketchbook, quietly observing, trying to capture the essence of the building. It’s a straightforward approach, and that directness is kind of great. It reminds me a little of Agnes Martin’s drawings, not in style but in the focus on line and structure. It’s like Cornelis is talking to us about seeing, about slowing down and noticing the world around us. He’s inviting us to join him in looking. The simplicity encourages contemplation, don’t you think? There's a lot of potential in those lines.
