About the piece
Painted in 1654 by Emanuel de Witte, this oil on copper work is a quintessential example of Dutch Golden Age architectural painting. De Witte focuses on the interplay of light and shadow across the soaring Gothic arches of the Janskerk choir, using small figures and a dog to provide a sense of scale and life within the sacred space.
