Summary
| Description |
The fiddler (de Violist) took in quite a lot of attention when it was moved to the entrance of the Stopera in 1991. Though the Stopera at Waterlooplein is also home to the Amsterdam city hall, the city council still pretended to know nothing about the maker. The statue was named the Fiddler. It is made of bronze. The musician seems to burst out of the floor, while playing his instrument. Workers had to make quite an effort to break open the marble floor to place the statue. According to a little book published in 2004, this statue was first placed ‘in the sea’, in Velsen. Also, there is a poem that accompanies the statue.
