Antwerp Cathedral

Niederländische Malerei 1645–1660, c. 1650/1655

This is a painting of a Gothic-style cathedral interior. The building features tall, cream-colored arches and vaulted, ribbed ceilings. There are framed artworks above wooden pulpits with lit candles on them, and dark gray statues high on the walls. A light blue sky is visible through tall windows, and the floor is a checkered white-and-black pattern, occasionally disrupted by rectangles of gray and white. Men, women, and children dressed in vibrant clothing walk across the floor or kneel by altars.
