Tips
In 1884 the young Piet van Hoorn found Vincent van Gogh. He found him when Vincent came by to paint the mill, he found Vincent a peculiar guy. The guy must have been 11 years old, seeing a facing brick reminds us of the 100th birthday of mulder Piet van Hoorn (1873-1974). This watermill can be found between Nuenen and Eindhoven. Van Gogh lived in Nuenen and often passed this big water wheel of the Netherlands, which made the watermill a favourite drawing- and painting object of this painter.
