Ezelke (1976)

Ezelke

For more than 10 years, former alderman Gijbels had the idea to decorate the Ezelenmarkt with an appropriate image. In 1973 it was commissioned to the sculptor Gertrud Januszewski. Ms Januszewski, born in Berlin and via Venlo and Sittard arrived in Maastricht, studied at the Jan van Eyck Academy in graphics with Prof. Levigne and sculpture by Prof. Carosso. She graduated in 1970 and acquired thereby the price of Maastricht. In late July 1976, the donkey could be placed, but not at the place initially designated on the Ezelsmarkt for traffic reasons.
