Interior of a Church (1660/70)
During the 17th century there was a tradition of architectural painting that was particularly associated with the Dutch town of Delft, and it was there that the approach to this type of painting was revolutionized by the innovative works of Gerard Houckgeest. By 1641 Emanuel de Witte had moved to Delft, where the artist’s style is considered to have fully evolved. At this time he focused on painting church interiors, both real and imaginary. Like Gerard Houckgeest, de Witte chose unusual views of his churches, depicting the interior from an angle with an expressive use of space and perspective. He moved to Amsterdam in 1652, but he continued to paint the churches of Delft and to create his own imaginary interiors. This interior shows his characteristic use of figures to create a busy scene. De Witte’s lively interiors contrasted with the solemn scenes of most Dutch architectural painters. This work demonstrates the angled view that the artist favored and his use of strong lights and shadows. The planes of light in particular create a sense of pattern across the canvas, heightened by the use of broad distinct areas of flat, muted color. The figures here are dressed in the dark clothes of the churchgoer, and the inclusion of the dog is again typical of de Witte’s painting. Although he led a troubled life, his work was of great importance to the development of architectural painting and, together with Houckgeest and Hendrik van Vliet, de Witte gave the church interior a new expression. This painting is in the collection of the Hamburger Kunsthalle under the title
