**Emmanuel Constant Edouard** (or **Eduard**) **Colinet** (12 December 1844 – 5 January 1890)[1] was a Belgian sculptor.

## Life and work

In 1874 and 1875, Colinet wrote the booklet *Recueil Des Restes De Notre Art National - Verzameling der Overblijfsels onzer Nationale Kunst der XIste tot de XVIIIde Eeuw*, which was regarded as a standard work on the period it describes. In 1877, he left his hometown of Brussels and became special supervisor under [Pierre Cuypers](/source/Pierre_Cuypers) during the construction of the [Rijksmuseum](/source/Rijksmuseum) in [Amsterdam](/source/Amsterdam).[2] In 1878, he oversaw Cuypers' restoration of the City Hall facade.[3] Together with Cuypers he founded the [Quellinusschool](/source/Quellinusschool) in Amsterdam. Colinet was also the first director of this school.[2] In 1880, together with Cuypers and F. Stoltzenberg, he wrote *Album van Ornamenten en Stijlproeven uit de verschillende Tijdperken der Bouwkunst* ("Album of Ornaments and Style Tests from the Different Eras of Architecture").
