## Commentary

Pieter Neeffs the Elder specialised in views of church interiors. In Flemish architectural painting actual church portraits are unusual, most of the interiors are imaginary views. However, the interior depicted in the present painting is likely to have been derived from the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp, whose vast nave served as inspiration throughout Neeffs&#39;s career, The painting is signed lower right on the base of the column: &#39;PEETER NEEFFS&#39;
