Interieur van de Grote zaal van het Muiderslot 1880

This print, titled *Interieur van de Grote zaal van het Muiderslot*, was created by the Reimeringer Brothers. It depicts the interior of Muiderslot Castle in the Netherlands. Castles are often seen as symbols of power. But here, the Reimeringer Brothers invite us into a space of reflection and remembrance. The print commemorates the 300th birthday of Pieter Cornsz. Hooft, a celebrated Dutch historian, poet, and playwright who resided at the Muiderslot. By focusing on the interior of the castle, the Reimeringer Brothers create a contemplative space, a stage for intellectual exchange. The image makes me think about what it means to honor a legacy. Whose stories are deemed worthy of remembrance, and who gets to decide? The print serves as a reminder that history is not just about grand narratives of battles and conquests, but also about the intimate spaces where ideas are born and shared.
