The story behind the AI mural

For centuries, Breda has been a gathering place, from the moment the Mark and the Aa merge into the 'Brede Aa'. Led by the power couple Hendrik III of Nassau-Breda and his third wife Mencía de Mendoza, the city welcomed royalty, artists and scholars from all over Europe. Together with locals, they made Breda a beloved city where life is still celebrated every day. Breda is a vibrant meeting place where innovation and creativity come together, inspired by influential thinkers and doers.

Illustrator Daan van Bommel collaborated with Handpicked Lab on this mural. He was inspired by the story of Hendrik and Mencía and designed the illustration on the glass door. The rest was generated by a specially developed AI model and applied by a robot printer.
