“Iconic Mary rocking on the guitar while stepping into a ray of sun” (a bit long for a real title ).

The sharp lines and strong contrast suggest stencils were used for quick application. The bold and readable style seems typical for art meant to stand out in public spaces.

The image blends religious elements with rock culture. That contrast gives it a rebellious tone. It likely questions who we see as icons or saints. Street art like this often makes bold cultural or social statements.

An almost perfect looking marble angel…

In 2018, the “Hermitage Amsterdam” hosted ‘Classic Beauties’, an exhibition on neoclassicism. Featuring over 60 works by 25 leading artists, it explored the influence of antiquity on 18th-century art.

Until 2022 it hosted exhibitions featuring art from the “Hermitage” in Saint Petersburg but eventually, the ties with Russia were severed, due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. By fall 2023, the museum was renamed to “H’ART Museum”

A ‘Cat Woman’-like portrait at the IJ-hallen in Noord. Unfortunately this artist is unknown by me, so feel free to #.

The works on these walls are temporary and they’re sometimes being replaced at a dizzying pace.

The sculpture at Metrostation Weesperplein honors the old “Weesperpoortstation” (1843–1939), the former railway station from which to depart to Utrecht and Arnhem. Carved in sandstone, this artwork was erected in 1941.

Created by architect Piet Kramer in the ‘Amsterdamse School’ style, it displays three layered historical locomotives representing the railways’ evolution.

The first steam train between Amsterdam and Haarlem (sept. 20, 1839) drove at the speed of 30 km/h and was pulled by a locomotive called “De Arend”. In 1908, the country’s first electric train took off between Rotterdam Hofplein and Scheveningen Kurhaus. It was powered by a 10,000-volt AC system from a dedicated power plant. ️

The first diesel train followed in 1934, running from Amsterdam to Arnhem.

Artist Steffen Maas made a mosaic portrait of the legendary Nelson Mandela at the corner of Krugerplein and Pretoriusstraat (also called “De Krugerkop”).

The mosaic was constructed from hundreds of wooden shields with South African patterns in 2014. It emerged from the collaboration between residents from the Transvaal buurt, among others. The mosaic was intended to confirm or emphasize the neighborhood's connection with South Africa.

This woman with flowers, by artist Huereck, shines on yet another container at NDSM.

Through urban fiction and contemporary techniques, he expresses a surrealist, urban fiction style and worldview that evidences the meaninglessness of the narratives that society accepts as true and regularly unquestioned
