About Artwork: (About 1660) "Bathed in an atmospheric light that is characteristic of de Witte, even the dog in the foreground seems to be listening to the preacher on the pulpit. The city of Amsterdam employed people to keep dogs out of churches, but judging from how common they are in seventeenth-century paintings of church interiors, this was not always successful. Light is also a key feature of the stained glass in the lower row of windows. The scene on the bottom half shows the Four Evangelists – Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – seated around a table with their attributes. An angel approaches them; above its wings, clouds open to reveal a heavenly golden glow that is enhanced by the natural light coming through the window. The small organ mounted on the wall to the right of the stained glass was in reality placed on the other side of the nave of the Oude Kerk, but de Witte has included it here to make the view more interesting." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
