Interior of New Delft Church

This canvas shows the interior of the "Nieuwe Kerk", the New Church, a Gothic temple built in the fourteenth century dedicated to Saint Ursula that was transformed in 1572 into one of the main Protestant churches of the new nation, especially because in it is the mausoleum of the Dutch revolt against the Spanish Crown. The monument, located in the church's choir, is visible through the imposing columns of the ambulatory, which cast shadows on the structure. The interior is illuminated by light from the exterior that enters uninterrupted through the windows that lost their original stained glass decorations in the mid-seventeenth century.
