專家說明

This series of works by Jacob de Wit was executed for the Roman Catholic French Church on the Boommarkt (the current Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal) in Amsterdam in around 1740. The French Catholic Church, a so-called ‘clandestine church’, was tolerated by the Calvinist Dutch Republic in the wake of the Reformation partly due to the concealed facades of its churches, which were largely unrecognisable as places of worship from the exterior.

The ten studies for the church by de Wit are held in the Amsterdam Archives, see G. Vermeer, 'De Franse kerk aan de Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal', Binnenstad, no. 52 (290) p. 82-84 and a ninteenth-century lithograph of the church showing the present lot in-situ is held in the Noord-Hollands Archive in Haarlem.
