This is Dordrecht's least tangible but perhaps most important monument. It is built entirely of Light, Air and Water. Here you experience the city on an island. In a grand gesture, the rivers Merwede, Noord and Oude Maas come together at the
Drierivierenpunt.
Poets, writers and painters came specially to this spot, and lost themselves in elation at the vast sight. They looked at a natural spectacle, praying for the famous Dutch light.
Foreign artists went in search of this dream scenery in the seventeenth-century city of the famous painter Aelbert Cuyp.
