Influenced by Rubens and trained in Rome, Quellinus left his mark on Amsterdam through his imposing sculptural series for Amsterdam's central seat of power Born in Antwerp, the sculptor Artus Quellinus the Elder (1609-68) is inextricably associated with the city of Amsterdam thanks to his 15 years of work on the ornate sculptural program for the city's new town hall, now the Royal Palace. This book was published in association with Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.
