About the artwork

The famous Westerkerk at the setting of the Sun. The fuselage of the tower is made of brick, the superstructure consists of three floors, decreasing in size; the so-called lanterns. The first part is made of sandstone. The two upper parts are made of wood, covered with lead. The tower unites with the Westerkerk, which was designed between 1620 and 1631 in Renaissance style by the Amsterdam architect Hendrick Cornelisz de Keyser (1565-1621). He was the son of a cabinetmaker from Utrecht and came to Amsterdam around 1591 together with the city engineer Cornelis Bloemaert. Construction is believed to have been completed under the leadership of his son Pieter de Keyser (1595-1676) and Cornelis Danckerts de Rij (1561-1634). The church, which was inaugurated on 8 June 1631, has a length of 73 metres and a width of 29 metres. The tower was completed in 1638. It is the tallest church tower in Amsterdam (approx. 87 metres). It is not known who is the designer of the current lanterns. Building drawings show that Hendrick de Keyser designed an octagonal lantern.[1] The current shape is associated with Jacob van Campen who was involved in the completion of the tower.[2]

The tower's crooked. Measured at the height of the crown, the tower is 88 cm off the lead. The anomaly was not considered to be of concern even during the last restoration.

About Arno Prijs

Started with photography almost 10 years ago now. First the more ordinary pictures where by the way nothing is wrong with it. After a while I thought I could get more out of that camera? If I look at my work then it worked out well.
