Interior of a Cathedral
Description
Hendrik van Steenwijck II, also known as Hendrik van Steenwijck the Younger, was a Flemish Baroque painter known primarily for his architectural scenes and interiors, particularly of churches. He was born in Antwerp to the painter Hendrik van Steenwijck the Elder, and his artistic style closely resembled that of his father. In addition to his independent work, he also painted interiors for renowned artists such as Anthon van Dyck and Jan Brueghel the Elder.
The painting at hand bears resemblance to another artwork titled "The Interior of a Gothic Church looking East," which was a collaborative effort between Hendrik van Steenwijck II and Jan Brueghel the Elder. This particular painting is currently part of the collection at The National Gallery in London.
