Church Interior with Christ Preaching to a Congregation is a 1558 unspecified by Unknown, a Mannerism work, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a tall church with sunlight streaming through high windows. Christ sits on a raised platform, preaching to a crowd. In the foreground, priests shoo away children. The painting shows two moments at once: quiet worship upstairs and harsh discipline down below. The artist didn’t sign it, so we don’t know who painted this scene of faith and exclusion. To see more quiet church scenes, visit the Rijksmuseum.
