Utrecht's new life-size mural is an eye-catcher that leaves you breathless

    Utrecht is a beautiful mural that incorporates a work of the Dutch painter Pieter Jansz Saenredam, known for having immortalized church interiors.

    It is life-size and from the images alone it has a beautiful effect: in Utrecht another beautiful mural appears that takes up a work by the Dutch painter Pieter Jansz Saenredam, known above all for having immortalized church interiors.





    And it is in fact the famous work The nave and the Choir of the Catharijnekerk in Utrecht, which dates back to the period between 1655 and 1660 and which is now exhibited in England, that inspired the Dutch collective De strakke hand, known for having already completed other street art works inspired by greats such as Caravaggio.

    The work is located, not surprisingly, in the Saenredamstraat (the street takes its name from the seventeenth-century artist) of Utrecht, in the center of which fabulous murals are already appearing here and there. Last is the gigantic library in the open air painted on a building:

    Local residents had talked to the Centraal Museum and the municipality about their desire to decorate a large gray, empty wall of that street and together they chose the painting The ship and the choir of the church of Santa Caterina for the enormous spaciousness and depth.

    Michiel Meulemans, founder of De Strakke Hand, told Duic.nl: “It was immediately evident that this was not going to be a simple mural. The chosen work contains a very refined line perspective and is very detailed. Even with a magnification of 6 meters wide by 7,5 meters high, we had to use our best brushes on some pieces to get the details to come back truthfully. "
