Interior of the Oude Kerk in Delft with the tomb of Piet Hein is a 1700 oil by Emanuel de Witte, a Rococo painting work, depicting Oude Kerk, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
The painting depicts the interior of a church, with a large stone column in the center. The floor is made of black and white checkered tiles, and there are several people scattered throughout the scene. In the background, a large window lets in natural light, casting a warm glow over the space. A closer look reveals a sense of quiet contemplation, as the figures in the painting seem lost in thought. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye through the space.

Emanuel de Witte was born circa 1617 in Alkmaar, the son of Pieter de Wit, a local schoolmaster.
