Genre

Church & Sacred Interior

Lake Lucerne, Albert Bierstadt

The church interior is a study in space and faith. Dutch painters such as Saenredam turned the whitewashed Protestant nave into a subject of pure architecture, light falling through clear glass onto cool stone, while Catholic interiors filled the same space with altarpieces, candles, and gold.
