Fear needs courage 🇳🇱 Mural created for @kingsofcolors - A story about the history of the city of Den Bosch. A war tactic called ‘contravallatielinie’ was used to close off the city, by creating a border. The goal was to isolate the people in the city, so nothing could go in or out. In the end they’d have to surrender as food and munition depleted. In 1629 a group of around 800 men entered the city through the last unfinished part of the created border, to help defend. The only way for them to make that happen was to go through water at night while carrying their heavy weapons. - Thanks to @kingsofcolors for putting in the effort to make this project come to life. Also thanks to Abe & Rick for taking the time to model for the artwork in historically accurate garments. Also thanks to @vincenthuibers for prepping the wall so perfectly. - @kingsofcolors @bennienhuis @erfgoedshertogenbosch @gemeenteshertogenbosch @kringvriendenvanshertogenbosch @cultuurfondsbrabant @vreemt - #telmomiel #denbosch #thenetherlands #holland #history #painting #now #then #1629 #classic #modern #contemporary #newcontemporary #mural #muralart #realism #surrealism #orange #grey #kingsofcolors
