Dutch Landscape Drawings John and Marine van Vlissingen Collection I probably didn’t even know it existed. There is so much to discover and go on discovering in Paris. This is a little about the centre and it’s worthwhile reading. Custodia Foundation Once Marielle and l got there we both remarked at once that there was no information on John and Marine van Vlissingen. I looked that up when l came home only to find that the van Vlissingen family are the richest in the Netherlands with quite an amazing background too :- John Arthur Fentener van Vlissingen (born 4 March 1939, Utrecht) is a Dutch businessman. He is one of the wealthiest people in the Netherlands and has made major investments in the travel industry
