This is a register of statues and Caryatids created by Artus Quellinus (I) for the new Amsterdam Town Hall (now the Royal Palace). The document was published in 1655 by Hubert Quellinus, the brother of Artus. This detailed list is a valuable resource for understanding the artistic intentions behind the ambitious project of the Town Hall. The register, written in both Dutch and French, enumerates the statues and figures, including their placement and materials. This document provides a glimpse into the artistic collaboration and the meticulous planning involved in this important architectural commission in 17th century Amsterdam.
