About the artwork
Hoorn Oude Haven Kruittoren North Holland Netherlands.
The origin of the place name Hoorn - old spelling variants are Horn(e) and Hoirne - is not certain. Possibly it derives from Hornicwed. Medieval Hornic means Hoek, and wed or wedor is a medieval word for "water. Countless towns and neighborhoods in the Netherlands are still called Heurne, Huurne or Horn today. Hornicwed would then refer to its location in a corner of the coastline. It is also sometimes stated that it refers to a corner in the dike, but this raises doubts: the coast of the Zuiderzee was then further from Hoorn than it is now: the Westfriese Omringdijk originally ran from the West in a straight line to Schardam, and in front of this dike there was still land outside the dike, on which the village of Dampten, mentioned by Velius, was located. This area was inundated only from 1391 - when the old dike was given up - after a new dike was laid with an angle further inland, and the first impetus for the bay of the Hoorn Hop was created. Horn, however, existed by then, as did the name. We can also think for Hornicwed of the meaning that we also still see in our current word uithoek, namely a certain (inhabited?) area at some distance, and then located on the water (wed).
