About the piece
Created around 1700 by Emanuel de Witte, this oil painting captures the serene majesty of the Oude Kerk in Delft. A master of architectural perspective, de Witte employs a dramatic play of light and shadow that sweeps across soaring white pillars and an intricate checkered floor, leading the eye toward the tomb of Dutch naval hero Piet Hein.
