Victor de Stuers

Victor de Stuers is often remembered as the person who protected the national heritage of the Netherlands. In 1873, he published a fierce critique of the state of Dutch monuments, which led to the creation of the national office for heritage. While he held a powerful position as a civil servant, he was also a draughtsman. He used his artistic skills to document the architecture and people he encountered during his official duties. His work was a disciplined practice of observation rather than a primary career.
