Breda - Grote Kerk Renaissance Tomb

In the Prince's Chapel to the left of the choir in Breda's Grote Kerk, behind a richly carved grille, is the imposing Renaissance tomb (16th C.) of Count Engelbrecht II of Nassau (Stadholder-General of the Netherlands in the reign of the Emperor Maximilian I; d. 1504) and his wife Cimburga of Baden (d. 1510) - an alabaster masterpiece which was the work of either Tommaso Vincitore of Bologna (architect of Breda Castle) or Pietro Torrigiani, a Florentine. There are a number of tombs in the ambulatory, including (on the same side as Engelbrecht II), the monument, behind a fine iron grille, of Count Engelbrecht I (d. 1443) and his son John of Nassau (d. 1475), together with their wives.
