  • A proposito di opere d'arte
    Beautiful and rare bronze cachet of a stylized deer by the sculptor Adrianus Remiëns (The netherlands, 1890-1972). It was performed by Winkelman and van der Bijl at the time, around 1920. This cachet is also photographed in the book about Adrianus Remiëns, written by A.M. de Jong in 1929.

    At the bottom is a monogram, which indicates that the cachet has been used.

    Biography:
    Adrianus Remiëns (Amsterdam, 1890-1972) was not only a sculptor, but also a painter and draftsman. He was educated at the Amsterdam Drawing School for Art Crafts, his teacher was the well known Joseph Mendes da Costa.

    In addition to being a painter, he was mainly a sculptor of human and animal figures, mask heads and reliefs in a Symbolist Expressionist style. His sculptures were very stylized with little detail. This is also clearly reflected in this deer. He worked for Kunstaardewerkfabriek Regina in Gouda and Winkelman en van der Bijl, who also executed some of his designs in bronze, like this cachet. In addition.

    Remiëns also collaborated with the famous architect Berlage, for example, and designed building sculptures and facade ornaments for Amsterdam School buildings, including on Mercatorplein.

    During his life he lived and worked in Amsterdam, Blaricum and Laren. He was a member of various artists' groups, such as the Dutch Circle of Sculptors, St. Lukas, The Independents and the Association for Beeldende Kunstenaars Laren-Blaricum.

    His work can also be found in Dutch museums, for example the Centraal Museum in Utrecht has a bronze deer in their collection, made by Adrianus Remiëns.
  • A proposito di opere artista

    Jordens ricevette la sua formazione artistica alla Teekenschool voor Kunstambachten (1904-1908?) sotto la guida di Kees Oosschot e successivamente alla Rijksschool voor Kunstnijverheid di Amsterdam (intorno al 1908-1914) dove studiò con Willem Retera e August Falise. Nel 1923-1924 affina ulteriormente le sue capacità frequentando un corso serale di ceramica tenuto da Bert Nienhuis.

    Dal 1919 fino al 1950 circa, Jordens prestò servizio come insegnante di scultura presso la Kunstnijverheidsschool Quellinus, che in seguito divenne l'Istituto per Kunstnijverheidsonderwijs. Ha impartito la sua conoscenza a studenti importanti come Suze Berkhout, Jeanne Bijlo, Geert Marree e Bé Thoden van Velzen.[

    Oltre alla sua carriera di insegnante, Jordens ha intrapreso commissioni per lavori scultorei architettonici e sculture in legno, contribuendo a progetti di vari architetti.

    Tra le sue opere notevoli sono gli elementi decorativi sulle facciate del Tuschinskitheater di Amsterdam e della Banca Incasso a Enschede. Fu anche attivamente impegnato nella pittura, creando un corpus diversificato di opere che includevano composizioni di animali e figure, nudi e ritratti.

    Jordens era affiliato ad associazioni artistiche come Arti et Amicitiae, Sint-Lucas e l'olandese Kring van Beeldhouwers (Circolo degli scultori).

    Partecipò a diverse mostre e ottenne riconoscimenti quando gli venne assegnata una medaglia d'argento per la sua scultura all'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels modernes di Parigi nel 1925.

    L'artista morì all'età di 83 anni e fu cremato a Westgaarde.
