Standbeeld van Domela Nieuwenhuis, Bronze monument at Nassauplein, Netherlands
The statue depicts Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis in a standing position with his left hand raised, mounted on a pedestal featuring Prometheus in relief.
Workers and labor unions funded this memorial statue, which was unveiled in 1931 before thousands of spectators in the Spaarndammerbuurt district of Amsterdam.
The monument combines symbolic elements, with Prometheus on the base representing the delivery of knowledge to humanity, mirroring Nieuwenhuis's socialist teachings.
The statue stands in the center of Nassauplein, accessible via multiple tram lines and within walking distance from the Haarlemmerpoort neighborhood.
Johan Polet created three different designs before finalizing this version, as earlier proposals received criticism for not capturing Nieuwenhuis's militant character.
