EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Amsterdam City Jug, created in 1652 by the talented sculptor Artus Quellinus. Standing at an impressive height of 76 cms, this pewter masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Attributed to Harmen Barendsz Haen, this jug is one of eight magnificent designs crafted by Quellinus. Adorned with the emblematic coat of arms of Amsterdam and topped with a regal imperial crown, it exudes elegance and grandeur. Originally used for special occasions, this ceremonial jug would be filled with wine and passed around to important visitors and members of the town council. Its presence symbolized power and prestige during festivities or significant events. The Flemish craftsmanship evident in this piece reflects the Dutch Golden Age when art flourished in Holland. It serves as a reminder of Amsterdam's rich history as a thriving city during that period. As you gaze upon this photo print, let your imagination transport you back to a time when royal gatherings were held, where influential figures sipped from this very jug while engaging in lively conversations about politics or celebrating momentous occasions. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every intricate detail of this historical artifact so that we may appreciate its beauty even from afar.
