This facade, made without known date by anoniem (Monumentenzorg), of the former hunting lodge of Oldenbarnevelt or Torenzicht in Poeldijk, probably came into being through careful observation and maybe even love. Imagine standing there, camera in hand, trying to capture the essence of this old building. I bet the artist, a documentarian of sorts, was thinking about history, architecture, and the way light plays on brick. The tones are soft, almost sepia-like, giving the whole scene a nostalgic feel. Look at the brickwork—you can almost feel the texture, the weight of each brick laid so carefully. And the windows! They offer a glimpse into the past, don't they? It's like a conversation across time, connecting us to those who built and lived in this place. Artists are always building on what came before, and this image, in its quiet way, keeps that conversation going. It's a reminder that seeing is also a way of feeling and thinking.
