Painting the light…
- From Vermeer to Van Gogh, is the new immersive experience offered at the Bassins des Lumières, a place dedicated to the approach to art through new technologies
- Video mappings, digital scenographies and soundtracks immerse us in the daily life of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the Netherlands
- From the hushed genre scene to the popular banquets, we have the feeling of being part of the paintings.
- We walk through the streets and canals of Delft, the maritime landscapes, and we almost wish we could smell the flowers that make up the still lifes…
- This exhibition is a celebration of Dutch art from Vermeer to Rembrandt, from Bloemaert to Jan Steen to the luminous and dazzling paintings of Van Gogh
- Projected on the floor and walls of the Atelier, up to 10 meters high, the videos highlight the details of brushstrokes, lines and the play of materials
Painting nature differently
- In the second part, the Bassins des lumières offers a short program with “Mondrian, the architect of colors”
- Mondrian painted nature in a different way. It is a new and most vibrant experience when you enter the abstraction and colors of the twentieth century.
A piece of advice : bring a little wool, it’s chilly in the Bassins des Lumières
The Bassins des Lumières
Opened in 2020 in part of the city’s submarine base, it is the largest digital art center in the world. The site is composed of 4 water basins, projectors and enclosures allowing the projection of sound and light images. It is located in a former German submarine base from World War II. Inside the cells of the base, artists’ works are projected, in movement, to music, playing with the architecture of the place. Young and old alike will be enchanted by the movement of the works on the walls, on the floor, or on the water.
