The Van der Hoopzaal seen from the east, 1895 - 1915 Canvas Print
Large hall with the collection of Mr Adriaan van der Hoop, which was emptied to the Municipality of Amsterdam in 1854 and was donated to the Rijksmuseum on loan. In the passage is a marble statue 'Perseus' by F. Leenhoff. On the right side of the wall, a view of Rembrandt's 'The Jewish Bride'. In the middle of the hall are two long leather sofas. Room 269, Van der Hoopzaal, seen to the west. Compare photo 98. In 1915, the leather benches were replaced by oak benches. In 1917 the hall was divided into three rooms. Granito floor with a diamond pattern at the edges. The room is spanned by a curved skylight. Brick coves rest on a list of consoles (flowers and fruits). A text explains the room: 'By disposition of will of 22 December 1847 Adriaan van der Hoop, born 28 April 1778 in Amsterdam, died there 17 March 1854, kommandeur van de Orde van den Nederlandschen Leeuw, Ridder v.d. Order of St. Anna van Russia 2nd class, Member of the First Chamber of the States General, member of the States of the Province of N-Holland and of the Council of Amsterdam, Banker and merchant, his collection of Paintings emptied.' (see fig. 38 De Stuers) The monogram VdH can be found in various places, referring to the donor Van der Hoop. A frieze with cartels in which names of painters whose work can be seen here are included, and leaf decorations form the transition to the vault, carried by a stone frame with consoles. The vaulted surfaces at the ends of the hall are decorated with 'the queen's name cipher crowned in a blazon'. The colours of the painted decorations have been chosen in such a way that they form a 'soft transition' from the dark walls to 'the large amount of light that enters from above'.
