About the piece

Painted around 1640, this work by Pieter Neefs the Elder captures the immense scale and serene atmosphere of Antwerp Cathedral. The artist utilizes dramatic linear perspective and soft daylight to guide the eye through the vaulted nave, which is populated by delicately rendered figures in period dress that provide a sense of life and human scale.
