Interior of the Antwerp Cathedral

interior

The monumental, seven-nave Cathedral of Antwerp (built between 1352 and 1500) was considered the most beautiful late-Gothic church in the southern Netherlands. This cathedral was a constant incentive to the architectural painters of Antwerp, who produced ever new variations on the theme, selecting different angles of vision and different times of day and night.

About the Artist

Peeter the Younger Neeffs

1620 – 1675

Flemish painter, son of Pieter Neefs the Elder. By 1640 he was collaborating with his father and was never apparently enrolled as an independent master in the Guild of St Luke. He was still active in 1675, the year that appears on his last known dated painting (Vaduz, Sammlung Liechtenstein). He painted the same subjects as his father and it is very difficult to distinguish between their hands.
