PIETER NEEFFS THE ELDER, AND FRANS FRANCKEN III. Interior of a Gothic Church by Day

Interior of a Gothic Church by Day. Artist: Pieter Neeffs the Elder (Flemish, active 1605-1656/61); and Frans Francken III (Flemish, 1607-1667). Dimensions: 5 1/8 x 6 1/2 in. (13 x 16.5 cm). Date: probably ca. 1635-40. Pieter Neeffs the Elder was the most prolific Flemish specialist in architectural views during the first half of the seventeenth century. Minute detail, artful illumination, and above all perspective effects-- enhanced in these small works on copper by simulated marble frames--were designed to entrance private collectors. Neeffs's usual subject is an imaginary Gothic church interior similar to that of Antwerp Cathedral, which bears some resemblance to the daylight view exhibited here.
