Artus Quellinus – Sculptor of Amsterdam

This project feels like the crown on our work, this is what it’s all about for us.

Yesterday, June 17th 2025, His Majesty the King officially opened ‘Artus Quellinus – Sculptor of Amsterdam’ at the Royal Palace Amsterdam.

The master of living marble

This first-ever retrospective of Quellinus’ work is a gift to the city in celebration of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary, realised by the Royal Palace in collaboration with the Rijksmuseum. More than one hundred masterpieces by Quellinus, known as the master of living marble, have been brought together for this extraordinary exhibition. HIZKIA proudly managed the full scope of art logistics at the highest level, supported by our teams in Germany, Denmark, Belgium, and France. From transporting monumental 17th-century marble sculptures to coordinating complex international loans, this project is a true reflection of what 35 years of HIZKIA expertise looks like.

On view until 27 October 2025 at the Royal Palace Amsterdam.
