Summary edit
| Description |
English: Originally, the wooden figures of David, Goliath and his bearer were made for the Amsterdam pleasure gardens called the 'Oude Doolhof' [The Old Maze]. Founded prior to 1625, it continued to exist right up to 1862. The gardens were not merely famous for the maze, fountains and arbours but also for the collection of figures. This comprised single specimens as well as groups representing mythological, biblical and historical personalities and events. The head and the eyes of Goliath can be manipulated with the aid of mechanical contrivances.
Nederlands: De houten beelden van David, Goliath en diens schilddrager zijn afkomstig uit het 'Oude Doolhof', gelegen aan de Prinsengracht bij de Looiersgracht. Het 'Oude Doolhof' was een pleziertuin die van vóór 1625 tot 1862 heeft bestaan. In de tuin bevonden zich beelden, fonteinen en een doolhof. In de galerij binnen waren beelden en taferelen van mythologische, bijbelse en historische personages en gebeurtenissen te zien. Sommige van deze beelden konden door een mechaniek bewogen worden. Goliath kan met zijn hoofd bewegen en met zijn ogen rollen. |
