Church Interior - Job Berckheyde, 1681Oil on oak panel, 25.4 x 20.5 cm. (10 x 8 1/8 in.)This small, delicately-painted, and previously unpublished work is an extremely rare example of a church interior by Job Berckheyde to be signed and dated post 1680. Having travelled through Germany during the 1650s with his younger brother and pupil, Gerrit, Job returned to Haarlem in around 1660, where the two artists shared a house and possibly a studio as well. There, Job produced portraits, townscapes, hunting and genre scenes, and less than twenty views of the interior of St Bavo’s and other churches, drawing on the work of both Pieter Saenredam and Emanuel de Witte.
