Summary

[edit]
Description

Volgens de legende werd kasteel ’t Steen aan de rand van de Schelde bewoond door de verschrikkelijke reus Druon Antigoon. Elke schipper die voorbij voer, moest tol betalen aan de reus. Wie weigerde verloor zijn hand. Antigoon was zo berucht, dat het verhaal zelfs Julius Caesar bereikte. Deze stuurde één van zijn dapperste veldheren naar Antwerpen: Silvius Brabo. Klein maar dapper is een gezegde dat hier wel op zijn plaats is, want Brabo ging Antigoon te lijf en slaagde erin zijn hand af te hakken. Met een grote boog zwierde Brabo de afgehakte hand de Schelde in en gaf zo de stad aan de oever haar naam: van ‘hand werpen’ kwam Antwerpen.

Het kunstwerk is oorspronkelijk gemaakt voor het monument 'L'Écoute' door Henri de Miller, dat in Parijs naast de Saint-Eustachekerk (Les Halles) ligt.
