ice on the water of de Trompenburg Photo

Photographer’s Note

Historical country house also to be opened to the public
As of 1 September, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam will be using the historical country house, Trompenburg, as an extra location. Trompenburg, which is close to Hilversum, was built after 1677 by Admiral Cornelis Tromp (1621-1691), the son of the legendary Admiral Maarten Harpertsz Tromp. The residence, that was built to resemble a ship, will be open for use by the Rijksmuseum from 1 April to 1 October for holding lectures, small conferences and small-scale exhibitions. In addition, Trompenburg will also be opened to the public a few times each year.

A monument for the Tromp family
Throughout the years, Trompenburg House has been a home to different families, and has been in the care of the Government Buildings Agency as a monument since 1938. Cornelis Tromp, who was the commander-in-chief of the Dutch and Danish fleet, built Trompenburg as a monument for himself and his ancestors, his father in particular. The Tromp family's glory is the theme of the dome hall - which can be seen as the maritime answer to the Oranjezaal, the central chamber in Huis ten Bosch Palace. The dome hall contains the portraits of father and son Tromp and both their wives, portraits of the ships and the naval battles.

Decoration and exhibitions
Trompenburg will not be used for large exhibitions, as the country residence is too small. However, the Rijksmuseum is considering whether the house could be decorated with art works on a limited scale. Where possible, any art work that is selected will be in keeping with the themes of life on a 17th Century country estate and the maritime history of the period of 1630 and 1690.

Due to the limited capacity of Trompenburg House, the exhibitions as well as the lectures and conferences will all be small-scale. The house will be opened to the public once a month during the April-October season (six times in total). A steward will reside at Trompenburg House.

Yes it was a nice day today I could for the first weekend make some photo's after a mounth because the weather was to bad. This on I took this morning, when you look you can see the ice on the water.
I hope you wil like the shot here.

As a mirror. Perfect composition with a beautiful architecture in this mansion and with a very well caught cold winter atmosphere.
The ice on the water of the pond increases the effect of mirror, and you have managed very well the light and the color.

Wonderful; you could call it "hot off the press". The reflections take on a whole different quality on the cracked ice of the lake. The winter light is gorgeous and the cold bluie tones just right.

Cormac (26455) 2008-12-07 16:40

Tromp is certainly a famous name in Dutch naval history, so it's interesting to see ths shot of the family estate. Beautiful shot, and I think it's very well balanced because you included those trees on the right as a counter to the building. Well done!

Hello Jaap!
Well, I like it a lot! Your usual talent is present again, that's for sure! Light was correctly managed - excellent exposure! The level of sharpness is pretty fit for the image!
Talking about feelings now, the composition is what has won my heart, because once more you have placed all the interesting and beautiful elements in such a manner that the result is this extremely eye-catching photograph! Of course, everything counts for: the beauty of the buildings, the bare trees, the blue sky above, however, the reflection is my favorite feature in this one, I cannot resist them!
TFS - Congratulations!
Greetings from Brazil,
Have a great week!

Hello Jaap,
How much time?
I wonder how much time do you think about how to take , how to compose the photos, before and after taking it? I think composition is your strongest part,not that the other aspects of your photography are neglected, by contrary.
Your technique is impeccable and this is shown in each and every one of your photos.
And you also have good and useful notes:)
Thank you,
Nelu

Dag Jaap. Dit is werkelijk superieure kwaliteit: de kleuren, de helderheid, de scherpte, de compositie. Proficiat.

batalay (21185) 2008-12-19 17:30

Hello Dear Jaap,

The photograph is sensational. The note explaining the building is educational. I see that the building was built just nine years after Rembrandt died, and two years after Vermeer — two of my favorite painters. The composition, light management, resolution, colors — all exquisite. The roof is unusual (a little evocative of WWI German military helmets), but, with the reflection in the water, this is a magnificent view. The ice on the pond is crackling, which makes the photo more interesting than just mirror-like water.

Warm regards and have a good weekend.

Hi Jaap,
Wonderful blue, superb clear, crisp reflections on the still water. The blue of the sky, the details of the castle and its reflections look superb.
I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year with all the ones you love.
Best regards. Salvator.

another magic photo, the sunlight on the intense blue looks really great, and the white house adds just the right accent. again, the reflection works very well to double the effect of the light and colours. my compliments, Jaap, this is a great photo.

best,
Kristine
