# A Sermon in the Oude Kerk, Delft [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [WITTE, Emanuel de]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on panel, 73 x 60 cm ## Commentary This painting is one of De Witte's finest works of his Delft years. It can be compared with the panel of 1651 in the Wallace Collection, London, which shows the same pulpit from another position in the southern aisle of the Oude Kerk. In composition the picture bears a surprising resemblance to the artist's early panel in Winterthur, considering that the two paintings depict dissimilar spaces in different churches. In both compositions an illusionistic curtain on the right is balanced against a dominant column on the left. ## Related artworks - [Church Interior]() - [Interior of a Baroque Church]() - [Interior of a Church]() - [Interior of a Church]() - [Interior of a Church]() - [Interior of a Church]() - [Interior of a Protestant Gothic Church \(detail\)]() - [Interior of a Protestant Gothic Church]() - [Interior of a Protestant Gothic Church]() - [Interior of a Protestant Gothic Church]() - [Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft]() - [Interior of the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
