The exhibition offers insight into the development of his penetrating oeuvre and its scope. From his conceptual work of his alter-egos Rudi and Jochum, to more mystical work in which he portrays the \"infinity\" of his light and the cosmic. In hundreds of paintings, we see how he works toward the ceiling for Noordeinde Palace and his major work for the Lower House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stedelijkmuseumalkmaar.nl\/assets\/files\/Beeld\/nu-te-zien\/RudivdWint\/Martin-N.-IMG_9449-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Famous and unknown<br><\/strong>Rudi van de Wint is perhaps one of the best-known artists in the Netherlands. Through television and many other media, his immense paintings in the Lower House can be seen almost daily in every living room in the Netherlands. His many sculptures in the Dutch landscape are also a familiar sight to many. Recently his 'Tongue of Lucifer' in the Flevopolder sparked a discussion in the national newspapers. As visible as Van de Wint's work is, so little does the general public know about the artist behind these works. That may have everything to do with the moment he withdrew from the spotlight to focus on his magnum opus: the landscape art work 'De Nollen' in Den Helder. What he realized there is a world-class project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stedelijkmuseumalkmaar.nl\/assets\/files\/Beeld\/nu-te-zien\/RudivdWint\/R.W-vd-Wint1500px.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>As well-known as the work of Rudi van de Wint is, the artist behind these works is unknown.
