EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white drawing by Willem Schellinks captures the Interior of the New Church in Amsterdam after the devastating fire of 1645. The fire, which broke out on the night of January 23, 1645, destroyed the original Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) in the heart of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The church, which had been the city's main Protestant place of worship since the 15th century, was a significant loss for the Dutch community. Schellinks, a renowned Dutch artist of the Baroque era, skillfully rendered the interior of the newly rebuilt church in this stunning black chalk and gray wash drawing. The artist meticulously depicted the intricately carved columns and pillars that support the vaulted ceiling, their white surfaces contrasting starkly against the dark background. The columns, which are adorned with elaborate Corinthian capitals, create a sense of grandeur and stability, reflecting the resilience of the Amsterdam community in the face of adversity. The drawing also showcases the simple yet elegant design of the interior, with its clean lines and minimalist decor. The absence of color only serves to heighten the viewer's focus on the architectural details, making this a truly captivating work of art. The Interior of the New Church in Amsterdam after the fire of 1645 is not only a testament to the artistic prowess of Willem Schellinks but also a significant historical document that offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring spirit of the Dutch people.
