Artist Leentje Linders (1942) completed her education in 1972 at the Free Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. Since her graduation she has focused on specializing and perfecting the 15th century etching technique. With this she wants to draw a line between the present and the past.
In her performance "Bike" July 5, 2007 we see, among other things, a fighter jet above an old nautical chart with an image of the man of Vitruvius (drawing by Leonardo da Vinci), an illegible dark text and an image of William of Orange.
The work of Leentje Linders is known beyond the Dutch borders and is part of many collections, including the Haags Gemeentemuseum, Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht, Museum of Modern Art in Seoul and Taipei, National Art Gallery Melbourne etc.
Queen Beatrix also gave her a personal commission for a work of art in 2008.
