About this work
Liberty, with a liberty spear, presents herself to Poetry. Poetry holds a lyre in her hands and is assisted by History, with pen, and Religion, who has the flame of divine inspiration on her head. Minerva sits in the foreground. Putti show a map of the flow of the Amstel river. In the foreground, putti display the coats of arms of villages along the Amstel. In the background, the city of Amsterdam with the IJ.
