Gallery of honour seen after the Night Watch Room in 1885, 1885 - 1886 Canvas Print
View of the Gallery of Honour with the Night Watch Room at the end. On both sides are the cabinets with paintings of the Dutch School. In the middle of the gallery are several plaster casts, including a cast of Victoria, the statue that crowns the façade, made by the sculptor Francois Vermeylen. The decoration pattern as designed by Cuypers is not yet fully worked out here. The paintings of Georg Sturm in the arched fields above the cabinets have not yet been applied. The open keystones of the vaults 'cause a sparse light to invade, so that the lighting of the four lateral halls on each side of the gallery and the Rembrandt Room shines more powerfully' (De Stuers p.34) Cuypers used for the construction a combination of stone vaults and columns with wrought iron beams. At the decoration of the beams, composed of pulled and forged iron, the construction has been taken as a starting point. 'Flanges and rivets' are part of the decoration pattern. Granito floor with mosaic, front pattern see De Stuers fig. 12 Fig B. The level difference between the gallery and the cabinets was leveled.
