🪄About the artwork:

In "Interior of a Church," de Witte likely depicts a grand church interior, emphasizing the lofty vaults and columns that define the space. His use of perspective is key, drawing the viewer’s eye deep into the architecture of the church, perhaps along a central aisle that leads to an altar or choir. The painting would typically feature shafts of light entering through windows, casting dramatic illumination across the interior and highlighting the intricate details of the church’s design.
