Interior of the St Bavokerk in Haarlem, Seen from the South Ambulatory, Looking across the Choir to the North Ambulatory and the Large Organ — Pieter Jansz Saenredam
Pieter Jansz Saenredam. Painted 1636-04-15.
Saenredam specialized in architectural painting. He studied buildings closely, making detailed drawings of them, which he then reworked into paintings. Here he chose a vantage point from behind an arch, which creates a second framing element. Our gaze is automatically drawn upwards to the old organ, which has a painted scene of the Resurrection of Christ. This is a remnant of the by-then long-abolished Catholic decoration.
From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Gallery of Honour, Main building.
