# The Nieuwe Kerk in Delft with the Tomb of William the Silent [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [WITTE, Emanuel de]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on panel, 108 x 91 cm ## Commentary The Nieuwe Kerk in Delft with the Tomb of William the Silent c. 1651 Oil on panel, 108 x 91 cm Museum Briner und Kern, Winterthur It is interesting to compare this painting with Houckgeest's painting of the same view in the Mauritshuis, The Hague. The man and boy on the left and a couple and child in front of the tomb were adopted from Houckgeest but are now less distant and isolated. The figures in the centre have become a second family with a young servant and greyhounds, one of them catching the other dog's attention and a brilliant fall of light. The architectural motifs are obviously derived from Houckgeest. ## Related artworks - [A Sermon in the Oude Kerk, Delft]() - [Church Interior]() - [Interior of a Baroque Church]() - [Interior of a Church]() - [Interior of a Church]() - [Interior of a Church]() - [Interior of a Church]() - [Interior of a Protestant Gothic Church \(detail\)]() - [Interior of a Protestant Gothic Church]() - [Interior of a Protestant Gothic Church]() - [Interior of a Protestant Gothic Church]() - [Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
