Zuilen en beeldhouwwerken uit een kerkinterieur 1827 - 1891

Johannes Bosboom made this sketch of columns and sculptures in a church interior using graphite on paper. The texture of the paper support is evident in the strokes of graphite, allowing the viewer to observe the artistic process. Bosboom's sketch reveals the structure of the church interior. The use of graphite allows for fine details and variations in tone. The sketch emphasizes the solid forms and the way light interacts with the interior. The lines suggest traditional techniques of architectural rendering, yet the sketch captures the essence of the church interior. Bosboom’s work invites us to see the beauty in the details of craftsmanship, and the built environment. It reminds us of the labor and skill required to create sacred spaces, and how they reflect social values.
