Colorful Coat of Arms of Amsterdam – Stencil Street Art
checked 22 September
The Amsterdam coat of arms can be found everywhere in the city: on bridges, facades, and old buildings. In this artwork, Hans Breuker gives the historical city coat of arms new energy by translating it into a raw street art and stencil art style .
The three
St. Andrew's crosses, the crown, and the two lions remain recognizable but are given a modern, almost explosive look. Bright colors, paint splatters, and dripping lines make the classic symbol feel as if it has just been sprayed on a city wall.
The result is a powerful mix of
Amsterdam history and urban art . Below the coat of arms is the city's famous motto: Valiant, Resolute, Merciful .
Words that have been associated with
Amsterdam for generations and are brought to life again here in a contemporary form. This artwork brings the character of the city indoors.
Perfect for anyone with a connection to
