Except for the pyramid of Gizeh, the Seven Worldwonders do not exist anymore but they continue to appeal to our imagination. The descriptions of Antipatros in combination with the sketches of the 16th century Dutch painter, Maarten van Heemskerck has inspired Chris Blackwell, professor of Hellenistic studies.
He commandeered the specialized construction of scale models, on request of Fortnum & Mason's of Piccadilly, London. For 1,5 years a dozen British artists collaborated on their assembly, resulting in a collection that ultimately won Fortnum & Mason's the highly coveted, extremely prestigious award for best Christmas display in 1991.
General interest was so great that Fortnum's decided to keep the models on exhibit for an extra 6 months. Then the models were sold to an art collector, a Dutch owner. All drawings and moulds were destructed, therefore every single model is now a unique piece of artwork.
In the years that followed, the 7 models were displayed all over the world and they are now for sale.

Van der Vegt (1953) is a passionated painter. He studied at the academy Minerva where he was tought by amongst others Matthijs Roling and Ben van Voorn.
The basic conception in the work of Van der Vegt is expressionistic,
whereas his touch of the brush - sometimes thick, full of paint, sometimes
thin - contains many different gradients flavoured with an obstinate
impressionism while his sense for composition and color
never lets him down. Impressionistic, also because he uses
the effects of light and shadow as elements contributing to a strong spatial concept.
