Boelens-Den Otter kapel in de Nieuwe Kerk van Amsterdam 1680 - 1731

This etching by Jan Goeree, created between 1680 and 1731, depicts the Boelens-Den Otter chapel in the Nieuwe Kerk of Amsterdam. The detailed view of the chapel's interior, including the ornate stained glass windows, the altar, and the figures gathered in the space, offers a glimpse into the architecture and religious practices of the time. This is a classic example of 17th century Dutch architectural drawing, which aimed to accurately depict the grandeur and details of buildings, particularly churches, as a way to document and celebrate the achievements of Dutch architecture. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing art lovers with a fascinating window into the past.
