Specialist Notes
Philips Vingboons (or Vinckboons, Vinckeboons, Vinckbooms) (c. 1607 – 2 October 1678) was a Dutch architect. He belonged to the school of Jacob van Campen, that is, Dutch classicism. Vingboons was particularly appreciated in his hometown, Amsterdam.
Unlike Jacob van Campen, Vingboons creatively adapted Classicism to the typically narrow Amsterdam townhouses. Philips Vingboons is considered the inventor of the Amsterdam “Halsgevel” (neck facade) type, as he designed the oldest surviving “Halsgevel” in Amsterdam, at Herengracht 168, in 1638. In fact, it is sometimes even called “Vingboonsgevel” in his honour. It was widely imitated in the Dutch Classicist period (1640-1665) on a large scale. In simpler houses, it appeared as a simple brick altar pillar, with little ornamentation – this type is called “Vingboons-imitatie” (imitation of Vingboons).
