The old sea dog, whose dark and determined features confront one in Bol's canvases again and again in Holland, reposes in full dress on a cannon amid symbols of his victories.

Close by, in the Royal Palace, are some of the flags which he wrested from the English.

Other admirals also lie there, the Dutch naval commander never having wanted for honour in his own country.
The New Church, where the monarchs of Holland are crowned, has a very large new stained-glass window representing the coronation of Queen Wilhemina--one of the most satisfying new windows that I know, but quite lacking in any religious suggestion.

That poet who considered a church the best retreat, because it is good to contemplate God through stained glass, would have fared badly in Holland.
The New Church is new only by comparison with the Old.

It was built in 1410, rebuilt in 1452 and 1645.
