With more than 250 exceptional colour photographs Visions of the Netherlands is perhaps the most comprehensive book of its kind ever published. Like a consummate Dutch old master, photographer Frans Lemmens has painted a rich and colourful portrait of this often-surprising country, the people who live in it and the places and things worth seeing. Thanks to Martijn de Rooi’s astute, often humorous text, this portrait also gives a clear image of both the traditional and modern aspects of the country and pinpoints exactly what makes the Netherlands so typically Dutch. Lemmens’ artistry and craftsmanship have created an ode to a unique land, a perfect calling card for everyone who has links with the Low Countries.
