      Walker Art Gallery (Liverpool, United Kingdom)

      Home to one of the world's finest Pre-Raphaelite collections, Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery offers an unmissable journey through Renaissance masters and British modernism that invites you to explore its timeless beauty.

      Church interiors became a speciality of certain 17th-century Dutch painters. The subject gave scope both for the accurate recording of everyday reality and the representation of light, two principal concerns of the Dutch School. Vliet painted the interior of Delft’s New Church more than 20 times and produced several versions of this particular view. William I was the Dutch hero of the War of Independence from Spain and his tomb became a national shrine. It was often represented by artists. The newly-dug grave in the foreground introduces a note of sombre symbolism into what is otherwise a straightforward record of surface appearances.
