A quiet Dutch church interior glows in soft light. Rows of wooden pews stretch into shadowy corners. A few people stand near the altar, small against the space. This is an old painting of the Oude Kerk in Delft. It’s not dramatic. It shows daily life in a church that’s been there for centuries. The artist paints the light hitting the floor just right. Look up the Art Institute of Chicago to see this painting yourself.
