Gerrit Berckheyde, The Market Place and the Grote Kerk at Haarlem

Gerrit Berckheyde
The Market Place and the Grote Kerk at Haarlem
1674
Oil on Canvas


The reason why I chose this painting was simply because of how realistic it looked. Everything that needed shadowing had shadowing. I also like the look of the cathedral with the arching of the windows. The colors in this don't do much for me, but again the realism is what I enjoyed most.
