Naakte dame - zicht op de Kleine Geul.

.

Perhaps the most special view of the Kleine Geul, but probably also the most photographed woman in Valkenburg. It is a bronze nude sculpture by an unknown artist on a footbridge over the Kleine Geul river. She leans relaxed over the railing of the bridge, aided in height by a champagne cooler as a plinth. A beautiful classic hairstyle above a young face, the somewhat large breasts concealed in the relaxed arms, the back provocatively high in the air on stately slender legs. A little further on is more art in presumably the same style, but then a motorcycle with a coolly dressed motorcyclist, perhaps by the same artist..

.

Artwork Cornucopia - Hoorn des Overvloeds - the interior of the Markthal is covered with a 11,000 m² (two football fields) large artwork by Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam, entitled "Hoorn des Overvloeds". This title refers to the Cornucopia, a horn of Latin mythology which symbolizes abundance and saturation.

 

The artwork shows strongly enlarged fruits, vegetables, seeds, fish, flowers and insects. It was made using digital 3D-techniques, printed on 4000 perforated aluminum panels and covers the ceiling of the hall. Some now call it "The largest artwork in the world" or "The Sistine Chapel of Rotterdam".
