Johannes Bosboom specialized in paintings and watercolours of church interiors. His models were his 17th-century predecessors, Emanuel de Witte and Pieter Saenredam. Bosboom often dressed his figures in 17th-century costume, as in this work. By adopting a low perspective, he emphasized the rhythm of the columns and the majestic impact of the interior.
