Vondel statue, Bronze statue in Vondelpark, Netherlands
The Vondel statue stands 3 meters tall, incorporating bronze and stone materials, with its pedestal designed by architect Pierre Cuypers in 1867.
The monument led to the name change of the surrounding park from Nieuwe Park to Vondelpark after its installation on October 18, 1867.
The bronze sculpture represents Joost van den Vondel, a Dutch playwright from the Golden Age period who contributed extensively to European literature.
The statue maintains its position at the center of Vondelpark, with wheelchair accessible paths leading directly to the monument from multiple directions.
The statue earned the Rijksmonument designation, confirming its status as a protected cultural heritage site within the Netherlands national registry system.
