DANIËL DE BLIECK: A WORK FROM OUR COLLECTION IN STADHUISMUSEUM ZIERIKZEE
Ralph Gierhards Antiques / Fine Art is pleased to announce the loan of a work from its collection to the forthcoming exhibition “Daniël de Blieck, een Zeeuwe meester uit de Gouden Eeuw” at the Stadhuis Museum Zierikzee in the Netherlands. The exhibition is scheduled to open on 1 July 2026 and will run until 15 November 2026.
The painting on loan, An Interior of a Church, was created by Daniël de Blieck between 1650 and 1652. Signed lower left “blieck”, the oil on panel measures 77.5 x 63 cm, or 94 x 78 cm framed. Its provenance includes a former private collection in Düsseldorf, the Kisters Collection in Kreuzlingen until 1970, and, from 1970 onwards, the Dr. Müller Collection in Cologne.
Daniël de Blieck was a Dutch Golden Age painter, draftsman and architect, best known for his architectural paintings. His work often explores church interiors, both real and imaginary, with a refined sense of space, perspective and atmosphere. In An Interior of a Church, architecture becomes more than setting: it creates rhythm, depth and contemplation, inviting the viewer into a carefully constructed world of light, proportion and silence.
We are honoured that this painting will form part of an exhibition dedicated to De Blieck’s artistic legacy and to the cultural richness of Zeeland during the Dutch Golden Age. For our gallery, loans of this kind are an important way of allowing works of art to enter into scholarly dialogue, public view and historical context.
