“Tribute to Berlage”. Sand stone sculpture part of the bridge on Parnassusweg, Amsterdam, by Hildo Krop, 1941. The sculpture depicts Berlage the architect (front), painter Roland Holst (right), and sculptor Mendes da Costa (back). Since the latter was Jewish, the sculpture was not placed in public until after the end of WW2.

t komende halfjaar mogen r blijkbaar geen mensen over #Parnassusweg. Ze zeggen dat de treinen blijven rijden, maar ze willen blijkbaar geen last hebben van reizigers. #Zuidas #Asdz https://zuidas.nl/blog/2025/10/30/forse-fiets-en-voetgangershinder-parnassusweg/

The statue at the courthouse along Highway A10 (or Amsterdam ring) is “Love or Generosity” (in Dutch: “Liefde of edelmoedigheid”). 🩷⚖️👊

This more than 5-meter-high sculpture by American artist Nicole Eisenman was installed in 2020. 🇺🇸 🎨🧑🏻‍🎨

The giant, dressed in sweatpants and firm boots, bends forward and holds an owl, an arrow, and an acorn in his hands (symbols of wisdom, perseverance, and protection). 🦉🏹

The statue serves as a gentle gatekeeper, offering comfort and relaxation to anyone who visits the courthouse. 👩‍⚖️
