Dutch painter Carel Willink, known for his style of magic realism, lived in an apartment and studio on the corner of Amsterdam's Ruysdaelkade, directly across a canal from the monumental Rijksmuseum. From this position he photographed the dramatic and turbulent clouds often seen in the skies above the Netherlands, seeking to capture backdrops for his paintings. This is a collection of those photographs.
