John Rädecker (5 December 1885, Amsterdam – 12 January 1956, Amsterdam) was a painter and sculptor from the northern Netherlands, best known for his National Monument on the Dam.
According to the RKD he was a pupil of Bart van Hove and a member of various painting societies such as the Hollandse Aquarellisten Kring and the Haarlem-based De Groep, as well as being a sculptor. [1] The Teylers Museum has a portrait of his daughter by his hand on show in their " Modern", or "Second" art gallery. He designed the National Monument and asked Adriaan Roland Holst to write the poem at the base. [1] When he died, the monument was finished by his sons Johan ("Han") and Jan Willem. [1]
