About "Westfries Museum in Hoorn"

by Jan van der Knaap

About the artwork

This is the Westfries Museum aan de Roode Steen in Hoorn, which focuses specifically on West Frisian history. The building was built in 1632 and was originally the meeting place of the Committed Councils in West Friesland and the Noorderkwartier, as part of the States of Holland and West Friesland, the Staten-College. The facade is in the style of the Dutch Renaissance.
In 1994, the museum was given an extension of the adjacent building. The porch is closed with a wrought iron fence from 1729.
On the square of the Roode Steen stands a statue of Jan Pieterszoon Coen (Hoorn, 1587 - Batavia, 1629). Coen developed the United East India Company into a powerful trading empire in Asia, but was also notorious for its cruel and violent trade policy. A murder expedition on the Banda Islands in 1621 cost the lives of thousands of inhabitants. His status is certainly not undisputed according to the sign on the pedestal. Nevertheless, this statue was erected for Coen in 1893. Here Coen is looking at the Westfries Museum.

This work is part of the Modern History series and is therefore executed in black and white.
