Innenansicht einer barocken Kirche is a 1693 oil by Emanuel de Witte, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a grand, high-ceilinged church interior with a large arched window at the top. The room is filled with people, some standing and others sitting or kneeling. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with soft light streaming in through the windows. In the foreground, a group of men are gathered near the altar, engaged in conversation. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
