      Herman Bisschop | The Fisherman's Wife
      The bronze statue was placed on the Nieuwendijk in 1986 and made by visual artist Herman Bisschop (Aardenburg). Relocation 2005 – location Groene Boulevard sea side.

      This statue had the original name 'the Bride', but was changed during the manufacturing process to 'the Fisherman's Woman' and was originally on the Nieuwendijk near the Vissershaven and was placed in October 2005 at its current location on the so-called 'green boulevard'. . It is technically complex to build such a statue. Various supporting structures had to be built in the studio. Herman was originally a draftsman and painter and later also started making sculptures. Themes such as people, weather and landscape regularly return in his work. He often works in series and thematically. Herman Bisschop is an analyst, reads a lot and slowly and applies this in his work, keeps plodding, searching and “milking the theme”. There are two other works by Herman Bisschop in Vlissingen in the Bellamypark 'Sammy' and on Boulevard Evertsen 'Man with cigarette'.
