Summary

Description
Nederlands: Tekening van Balthasar Gerards, borstbeeld in ovaal, in de hoeken en beneden het opschrift: 'Anno 1584 : den 10 july is van desen : den Prince van Orangien tot Delft doorschoote. Geheeten Balthasar Geeraerts out 26 jaer'. Op 10 juli 1584 klonk op de trap het schot van Balthasar Geeraerts. Zoals de Staten van Holland het beschreven; 'Nae noene omtrent twee uyren is syne Excellencie van de Tafel tredende op de eerste niewe Trappe in syn Hof binnen Delf, doorschoten....'. Met één schot vuurde Balthasar Geeraerts drie kogels af, waarvan er twee het lichaam van de prins weer verlieten. Zij lieten hun sporen na in de muur. Deze zijn nog steeds te zien in de zgn. 'moordhal', al zijn ze in de loop der eeuwen door het betasten van nieuwsgierige bezoekers sterk vergroot. De vraag waarom de kogelgaten zo laag in de muur zitten, hield en houdt nog steeds veel bezoekers bezig. Het vermoeden is, dat de oorspronkelijke gangvloer lager was gesitueerd, maar hier is bij de restauratie niets van gebleken. Evenmin weten wij precies welke vluchtroute Balthasar Geeraerts heeft genomen. Op de bekende prentjes van de moord op Oranje zien we de moordenaar vaak vluchten over de stenen trap in de moordhal en via de deur naar de tweede binnenplaats de wijk nemen. Zo hoopte hij de stadswallen te bereiken en in de gracht te kunnen springen en ontsnappen. Geeraerts werd echter bij de stallen (dichtbij de stadswallen) gegrepen.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
