3/3 Hanging above the door of the Mariakerk -- a painting of its interior. How strange! But cool. Wonder if this is real, or Saenredam's fiction.
2/2 Lovely study of the artist's father. Giovanni Serodine used him as a model in many of his paintings, as you will see on his day today.

Died (possibly) on this day in 1630, in Rome, Swiss-Italian painter Giovanni Serodine. Was so young! Here, by himself, being an artist.
2/2 The vanished Mariakerk in Utrecht, now painted from another angle in 1659 by Pieter Saenredam. Today is his day.
View down the nave of an exceptionally whitewashed Bavokerk, 1631. It wasn’t really this lacking in decoration, but Saenredam’s patrons liked clean look. Today was his day.
Nave & Choir of the Mariakerk in Utrecht. Complete with dogs, graffiti, and a group of people admiring a painting of the Utrecht Bull. By Pieter Saenredam, on his day.
