Interior of a Protestant, Gothic Church, with a Gravedigger in the Choir, 1669.
The depiction of church interiors was a separate speciality. De Witte was one of the last 17th-century artists to concentrate on these perspectival masterpieces. This painting offers an oblique through-view into a church. The columns in the foreground lead the eye into the distance. In the background the light falls on a gravedigger; it was customary for eminent citizens to be buried in churches

EDITORS COMMENTS
Emanuel de Witte's painting, 'Interior of a Protestant, Gothic Church, with a Gravedigger in the Choir,' showcases the artist's unique focus on the intricacies of church interiors, making it a rare and valuable masterpiece from the 17th century. De Witte's use of perspective creates an immersive 'through-view' into the church, drawing the viewer in with the columns in the foreground leading the eye into the distance. The painting's background reveals a gravedigger at work, a common practice in churches where eminent citizens were buried. The play of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the scene, with the light falling on the gravedigger creating a stark contrast against the dimly lit interior. This painting is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the religious practices and architectural grandeur of the time. The inclusion of the gravedigger adds an intriguing element of contrast, highlighting the cyclical nature of life and the importance of devotion and remembrance in the face of mortality. This oil on panel painting is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or religion, and is a proud addition to any art collection or gallery.
