Title: Vondelpark sleeper
Object: Cast medal, bronze
Dimensions: 70mm
Quality: Beautiful
In the 1960s, Amsterdam's Vondelpark, intended for appropriate relaxation for the bourgeoisie, was populated by people who came there without shame and performed acts that were unsuitable for children's eyes. The sculptor Jorna, who took lessons from the Italian Manza for a while, modeled such a free-spirited figure. A naked, sleeping boy, seen from above. He thinks he is unwatched. The figure is as sensitive as it is powerfully sculpted; next to him is his knapsack, a bird and a tree leaf refer to the open sky. The reverse is an impressive set of stamps and letters. The coat of arms of Amsterdam, the date, the vignette of the Association and the signature of Iorna are ironically printed around the owl of wisdom that sees everything. Up there in classical Roman SPQA; Senatus Populusque Amstelodamensis, the government and the people of Amsterdam. They just let all that happen. 'Dat cera fidem' - The seal gives confidence. #Louk Tilanus, Handy Sculpture
