Mari(e) Silvester Andriessen (Haarlem, December 4, 1897 – ibid., December 7, 1979) was a Dutch sculptor. He can be considered a member of the second generation of the Group of Figurative Abstractionists, also known as De Groep.
The bronze statue of "The Miracle of the Roses" stands at the entrance to the Spaarne Gasthuis Haarlem Zuid. The statue was unveiled in 1972 by Mayor de Gou, sculptor Mari Andriessen, and medical director Dr. J. van Mansvelt in the garden of the then newly built Sint Elisabeth Gasthuis. The statue was moved to the hospital's main entrance in 2013 and is surrounded by the tea rose "Elisabeth of Thuringia." Sculptor Mari Andriessen created a literal interpretation of "The Miracle of the Roses," depicting Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia standing before her husband, revealing the roses in her skirt.
Other well-known works by Mari Andriessen include The Dock Worker, Anne Frank and the Mesteechter Geis
