Crest of Duitgenius installed

ByKoen van Velzen 01-03-201409-02-2026

The limestone, polychromated relief with the coat-of arms of the Duitgenius family was installed saterday March 1 March 2014 installed. Luckily it was dry, and though a little bit more sun would have been nice, everything went smoothly during the mounting. The coat of arms is suspended from four stainless steel pins in the wall.

In the previous blogposts on this coat of arms more can be read about its realisation.

Update 4 March 2014: From the client, Mr Duitgenius himself, Today I received a number of photos of the coat of arms in much better quality.

Nasty the first message about this project.
Nasty the next post about this project.

    Corbel for the Eusebius Tower: a bird-like beast?

    One of the last of the 10 corbels for the South- and North side of the tower of the Eusebius Church at 23 meters high was this winged bird-like beast.

    On to the painter's!

    The relief with the Duitgenius coat of arms went today on a trip to the painter, Rómulo Döderlein de Win. I know Rómulo since 1983, when we both studied theology in Amsterdam. Incidentally we both later entered the restoration business, he as a painter (and portraitist and heraldry painter) and I as a sculptor. This is the first time…

    A relief in direct carving method

    The holidays are over and so I started a next project last Wednesday: a relief in direct carving method. It's still far from finished, but it's starting to show just a bit by now. I'm carving it out of 'beats-me-stone ', a piece that I had lying around and that I have no idea…

    Statue of Pope Leo the Great, part two

    1 Image in two parts The work on the statue of Pope Leo the Great is going much more smoothly than I expected. When I explained to the committee and to my colleagues about my plan for carving of the statue out of two parts, most of them thought it was quite a bold approach. The…
