Assendelft Church, 1649, with the gravestone of Saendredam's father in the foreground. The Grote Markt including the Hoofwacht on the left in Haalem - 1629 Pieter Jansz. Saenredam (9 June 1597 - buried 31 May 1665) was a painter of the Dutch Golden Age, known for his distinctive paintings of whitewashed church interiors. Biography[edit] Saenredam was born in Assendelft, the son of the Northern Mannerist printmaker and draughtsman Jan Pietersz Saenredam whose sensuous naked goddesses are in great contrast with the work of his son.

He was a contemporary of the painter-architects Jacob van Campen, Salomon de Bray, and Pieter Post. Saenredam's paintings frequently show medieval churches, usually Gothic, but sometimes late Romanesque, which had been stripped bare of their original decorations after the iconoclasm of the Protestant Reformation. In any case, Saenredam wanted to record this time of change by documenting the country’s buildings.

Corridors of power Date: 07-04-1992 Owning Institution: Publication: The Independent 1987 - 1999 Subject: Now Renaissance Pieter Saenredam's Interior of the Buurkerk, painted in 1644, detains few visitors to the National Gallery. It is such a quiet and unassuming picture, so still and distant and alien, that it is easily passed by. But it rewards close inspection. This painting of a Protestant church in Utrecht exemplifies Saenredam's fanatical modesty, his apparent lack of interest in anything superfluous to architectural description.

It contains a few, isolated groups of figures and the odd dog or two, but they are dwarfed by the spacious church in which they are located and which seems to be the painter's true theme. Saenredam has been called ''the first portraitist of architecture'', which might be said to make him oddly topical. To see Saenredam thus is to misinterpret him, but in a fairly understandable way.
