Saenredam is a painter whose work I love, but could never have in my house - the sense of tension, the suspense in them is almost overwhelming sometimes

In 1657 Pieter Saenredam uses his old drawing of the Amsterdam Town Hall, which had burned down 5 yrs earlier, to make this beautiful painting of that vanished monument. He was born OTD in 1597.
