Johannes Bosboom - The Interior of the Bakenesserkerk, Haarlem [c.1870-75], originally uploaded by Gandalf's Gallery.
Johannes Bosboom (1817 – 1891) made a number of sketches and paintings of this church, which dates from the 15th century and was partly rebuilt in the 17th century. This painting shows the south aisle and figures in 17th-century costume. It is similar to a larger painting (Amsterdam, Historisch Museum, Fodor Collection) which is thought to have been painted in about 1860. Johannes Bosboom was born in The Hague. In 1831 he travelled in the Rhineland and afterwards visited France; by 1851 he was back in The Hague. He painted church interiors, town views and landscapes.
