What can we learn about how artists use their imagination when depicting everyday life, from this work of art? Join Justine Rinnooy Kan, our Dorset Curatorial Fellow, as she looks at some unusual behaviour that we wouldn't expect to see inside a church, depicted in Pieter Saenredam's painting.

Rosslyn Chapel on the outskirts of Edinburgh did not have dogs, but until recently had a cat called William that adopted the church. Instead of removing him he was kept and he used to greet visitors, sadly dying last year.

Ah, sad to hear that. I live in Edinburgh and know Rosslyn very well. I heard that Cat William assisted at a wedding in the chapel, by rolling around on the bride’s train as she stood at the altar taking her vows!

They had a resident cat at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., when I visited. And the Episcopal church I attended had their own cat, too, who walked in and became the church’s mascot. 🐱

It's amazing to see these glimpses of everyday life in 17th century Netherlands, and to have the meanings of the depictions explained by such a knowledgable curator. Thank so much.

Phenomenal presentation. I could watch these all day. More please. Thank you very much. 🐶

Ten minutes very well spent... thank you. I’ve often wondered about the four on a horse and assumed they were some obscure aspect of Dutch Republican history but the ‘moral’ theme is just as convincing... Simon Schama’s book The Embarrassment of Riches is a fascinating read on just that topic... and nice to hear the Dutch language suddenly spoken so very charmingly....

Love stuff like this where the humour and foibles of humanity and nature are high lighted and engaged with. So often are they put down and demeaning. Great video :)

Best speaker and narrator of your house I think. So lively and happy, passioned and fascinated herself by the art! Loved it!

@jeffmunn-giddings3211 2 года назад

Fascinating series of videos - it's surprising how much insight into art one can get in 10 minutes. I'm intrigued by the symbolism of animals, birds and so on in paintings and would welcome a clip covering some of the symbols and why they were used.

@JackT13 Год назад

I remember reading somewhere that Saenredam rarely, if ever, painted human figures. I think most of the characters we see in his works are subsequent additions. Fascinating video, thanks!

@flamenca99 6 месяцев назад

What a great storyteller you are, Justine and only your last name and pronunciation of the Dutch words gave me a clue that you might be Dutch :-)! Fantastic!

@texterity3873 2 года назад

Justine is terrific!

@rlace356 Год назад

Perhaps a fellow artist could have painted the boys and the graffiti onto this very precise work of art as a graffiti added without permission. The idea makes me smile.....

@xray7908 2 года назад

Point well made: that the artist utilized imagination in a studio setting to create paintings almost like a fictional narrative - that what you see in paintings like this is generally intentional, and not a product of chance. This only deepens the mystery. Instead of "what are those boys doing," we wonder "what did the artist intend to convey by showing those boys, and what are they doing anyway?"

@WillN2Go1 2 года назад

Terrific video. I really enjoyed it. I've always enjoyed Saenredam's work and remember seeing this during my visit four years ago. Still I missed most of what's presented here. Maybe the graffiti is autobiographical for the artist. It may be where he learned to draw, or did his first practice - which fits with the theme of learning. Where in the 17th Century can a youth to find a smooth surface on which to draw? The outside of buildings? There's the weather. And that the position of the boy drawing is exactly the same as the artist Saenredam painting the picture. Also as a photographer I've figured out that if you stretch people, and sometimes architecture vertically about 10% people really like it. More than that and they notice (and complain).

I just adore this series. thank you so much. these are beautiful paintings. It seemed to me the group in the back seems to be dressed in a more middle eastern style as well? or was that just me?

The basket and figures look transparent. Is this photography? The figures do look very different in the foreground and the back.Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🇺🇸🌹

What about the other scratching right to the graffiti of the horse (right to the horse's head around the corner seen at 3:55)?

@leslyeglover3506 2 года назад

What an enjoyable historical moment. Is it my imagination, or is there more 'graffiti' scratched into the pier, in front of the horse - on the darkest side? Minutes 3:42 and 3:46.

I assume this is a protestant church. On the contrary to catholic churches, protestant churches were mostly devoid of any images or sculptures. I'm now wondering if this scene with children is any sort of commentary or even satire on the artists' side.
