Calvinists destroyed Catholic church decoration in 1566
They smashed statues, ripped out paintings, broke stained glass
Then built Zuiderkerk (1603), Amsterdam's first Protestant church:
White walls, no art, no statues
They called this 'pure'
This is why every Dutch interior nowadays looks so bland
Their iconoclasm won
