## Commentary

In the second half of the seventeenth century, Flemish painters known as specialists in the field of church interiors, such as Van Ehrenberg, continued to use the rather artificial and exaggerated receding backgrounds which ultimately went back to Vredeman de Vries. There is in their work a firm preference for monumental Baroque interiors, especially that of the Jesuit church \(Carolus Borromeuskerk\) in Antwerp.
