Sunday Bridges, Hildo Krop

Posted by Picasa

I mentioned before my love for the sculptures on bridges in Amsterdam of  Hildo Krop. This one is at the "Muzen-square" , built in 1929 and decorated with two sculptures, a boy with rabits and a girl with
squirrels.


Upon the pillars of the bridge is a big rearer horse with a little girl between his legs, called the open-mindedness of mankind.

  1. They are very interesting sculptures and on a bridge too. I love the house behind the boy with rabbits.

  2. I had to take a second look. I thought it was a girl with elephants. I guess I am going nutty. The sculptures add so much beauty to the bridge.

  3. I wish I had seen these while in Amsterdam. They are wonderful sculptures..especially the innocence he has been able to capture in the faces of the children. His animals are lovely, too.. I really enjoyed looking at this post. Genie

  6. What interesting bridges! So the bridges are two-fold: useful and works of art!

  10. Nice to see that bridges can be decorated so wonderfully instead of being merely utilitarian. Well captured.

    Fijne week.
