Olympic Games/ Summer, 1928/ Amsterdam/ Flame/
Glazed earthenware tile.
Here we find the first official trace of the Olympic fire. Indeed, this artistic pyramid, this original cauldron, reminds us that the Olympic fire first burned in Amsterdam. It made an appearance in 1932 in Los Angeles, before being institutionalized in Berlin, with the torch and the relay from Olympia. In a way, this small tile is the foundation stone of the famous Olympic relay, which took on a special significance with the Paris Games.
