Descriptive Note
|
Text: The artist has made a detailed
rendering of the fifteenth-century Gothic cathedral
at 's-Hertogenbosch, near the Maas river, after the
iconoclasts, or "image destroyers" of the
Protestant reformation had replaced the church's stained
glass and whitewashed its vaults. The preparatory
drawings from 12 years earlier show the altarpiece
missing, having been removed by Catholics fleeing
the Protestants. Saenredam, a close friend of the
altarpiece's artist, ingeniously reinserted the missing
picture in his painting.
