Abstract

A Bridled Atlas and his celestial globe. The History of a Statue on the Amsterdam Town Hall. The central figure at the back facade of the former city hall -now royal palace- in Amsterdam is the mythological giant Atlas. His presence is 'an allusion to universal peace', according to art historians who refer to the Treatry of Munster (1648) that also inspired other decorations by the architect Jacob van Campen (1596-1657). Yet in the visual language of the early modern period, the image of Atlas rather points to a transfer of power. During his preliminary design of the building, Van Campen was faced with the death of his former patron, stadtholder Frederick Henry of Orange, who was succeeded by his son, William II. The Amsterdam burgomasters agreed with a statue referring to their less-than-beloved stadtholder only because he was flanked and watched by two ladies: Temperantia (moderation) and Vigilantia (vigilance). Around 1667 the bronze Atlas with a large globe on his shoulders was placed on the tympan at the rear side of the town hall. Visitors who dared to climb into the sphere were rewarded with a magnificent view of the city. Coloured green by corrosion, Atlas still dominates the western side of the royal palace today.

一个针织品地图集和它的天堂。市政厅的历史

有缰绳的阿特拉斯和他的天球。阿姆斯特丹市政厅雕像的历史。阿姆斯特丹前市政厅(现为皇宫)后立面的中心人物是神话中的巨人阿特拉斯。根据艺术史学家的说法，他的存在是“世界和平的暗示”，他们提到了明斯特条约(1648)，该条约也启发了建筑师雅各布·范·坎彭(1596-1657)的其他装饰。然而，在现代早期的视觉语言中，阿特拉斯的形象更像是指向权力的转移。在建筑的初步设计期间，范·坎彭面临着他的前赞助人、奥兰治的执政弗雷德里克·亨利的去世，他的儿子威廉二世继承了他的王位。阿姆斯特丹的市长们同意建一座雕像来指代他们不那么受人爱戴的市长，只是因为他的两侧有两位女士:Temperantia(节制)和Vigilantia(警惕)。大约在1667年，铜制的阿特拉斯肩上扛着一个大地球仪，被放置在市政厅后侧的大鼓上。敢于爬上球体的游客可以看到城市的壮丽景色。被腐蚀染成绿色的阿特拉斯今天仍然统治着皇宫的西侧。

期刊介绍： The periodical Oud Holland is the oldest surviving art-historical periodical in the world. Founded by A.D. de Vries and N. der Roever in 1883, it has appeared virtually without interruption ever since. It is entirely devoted to the visual arts in the Netherlands up to the mid-nineteenth century and has featured thousands of scholarly articles by Dutch and foreign authors, including numerous pioneering art-historical studies. Almost from the magazine’s inception, the publication of archival information concerning Dutch artists has played an important role. From 1885 to his death in 1946, the renowned art historian Dr. Abraham Bredius set a standard of excellence for Oud Holland.
