About the piece

This 1650 oil painting captures the airy, meditative atmosphere of the Church of St Bavo in Haarlem. Pieter Saenredam’s meticulous attention to perspective and light highlights the elegant Gothic arches and the quiet dignity of the space, punctuated by small figures that emphasize the grand scale of the architecture.
