The Nieuwe Kerk in Delft, built in the 14th and 15th centuries, was chosen for William the Silent's burial in 1584. During the Dutch Revolt the States-General decided to build a memorial tomb for the Vader des Vaderlands. Since then, forty-five members of the House of Orange-Nassau have been interred in this crypt.

Hendrick Cornelisz. van Vliet specialised in church interiors, often taking the Oude Kerk and Nieuwe Kerk in Delft as his subject. He seemed particularly interested in depicting complex architectural perspectives, such as the present view, which shows the memorial tomb of William the Silent.
