BEATA PURC-STĘPNIAK
image of the curtain revealing the interior of the church a Christian’s turning to Christ is
symbolized with reference to II Cor 3,16. The Old Testament covered with a veil - and in the
New Testament it is taken away in Christ, in freedom of a Christian for whom the Church is
a gate, and the Christian, similar to the corner stone, has become a significant part supporting
the structure. The dogs appearing in the painting are a reminder of everyday life and of their
role as ones who explain human behavior, which stresses the significance of their figures.
Cornelis de Man’s painting is one of his early works, falling on 1660’s. Its monumental
character, the high point of view, patches of light behind the Windows, subtle shadows - make
the viewer perceive it as a scene that is observed in a natural and accidental way. Apart front
the Columbus painting and the view of the interior of Laurenskerk in Rotterdam (Koninklijk
Kabinet van Schilderijen, The Hague, Mauritchuis) the painting is de Man’s best contemplative
church interior.
