Excerpt: At the head of the Lange Voorhout in The Hague is a small 18th-century palace that is now dedicated to the work of M.C. Escher (1898-1972). The Dutch graphic artist who makes water flow upwards, turns birds into fish and lets hands draw each other.(Submitted on February 28, 2024.)
QueenEmma bought the property in 1896, renovated it extensively and lived there between 1901 and her death in 1934. The queens Wilhelmina, Juliana and Beatrix used it as a working palace and received ambassadors here. It is the only public building in The Hague where the old palace function can still be experienced.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, May 8, 20232.
