Jan Goeree
Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam
c. 1724

About the Item

Jan Goeree (Middelburg 1670 – Amsterdam 1731) Interior of the Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam (c. 1724) Red chalk for the architecture, pen and black ink, grey wash on paper Composition reversed in preparation for engraving 25 × 17.5 cm Watermark: Hunting horn, Churchill 318 (dated 1724) Provenance Private collection, France Context & Attribution Trained in the studio of Gérard de Lairesse, Jan Goeree was among the finest Dutch engravers of the early eighteenth century, celebrated for his architectural views of Amsterdam. This drawing is a preparatory study for an engraving of the same subject now preserved in a major public collection. The final print—slightly larger—closely follows the reversed composition of this sheet. Subject In the center of the Gothic nave, five bearers carry a catafalque toward a freshly dug grave—a tribute to the naval heroes often buried in the Nieuwe Kerk. This funerary motif, familiar from Dutch painting (e.g. Emanuel de Witte, 1657), evokes the vanitas theme and the transience of earthly life. Technical Analysis Goeree’s use of red chalk for the architecture and ink for the figures reveals his working method: the chalk lines could be used to produce a counterproof restoring the correct orientation of the architecture, while the inked figures remained adjustable before the design was transferred to the copper plate. Place within the Oeuvre Drawings of church interiors by Goeree are rare: only two other preparatory sheets (depicting the Oude Kerk) survive in the Victoria & Albert Museum, and just a handful have surfaced on the market in recent years. This scarcity, combined with full documentation (watermark, corresponding print, and museum comparanda), lends this sheet particular importance. The drawing distills Goeree’s graphic precision: a majestic elevation built from a sparse network of red chalk lines, animated by a sharp yet restrained funerary vignette. As a documented preparatory work, executed in a distinctive combination of media, and centered on a quintessentially Dutch theme, the sheet offers a rare insight into the creative process of a late Golden Age draughtsman-engraver.
