Description: | Neefs was a pupil of Steenwick the elder. He was elected member of the Antwerp Guild of Painters in 1610 and specialised in painting church interiors. This genre arose out of the painting of fantasy architecture as a backdrop for religious or secular subject matter. It developed into the portrayal of the church interior as an end in itself. Both Neeffs and his son painted extremely intricate church interiors and their work is often difficult to distinguish. | Subjects: | interior; religion | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Neeffs, Peeter, the elder (Flemish painter, born ca.1578, died 1656-1661) Æ Attributed to Thulden, Theodor van (Flemish painter, 1606-1669) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8384... | Go to resource |
