Anthonie de Lorme specialized in interior views of churches, a preoccupation that lasted throughout his lifetime.  The works from the early part of his career were characterized by realistic depictions of imagined views. However, at times he would add architectural elements to these imagined views that were borrowed from actual buildings.  Around 1650 de Lorme began producing more accurate depictions of churches, such as the Interior of the Laurenskerk, Rotterdam sold in these rooms on January 22, 2004, lot 39.  This slight deviation in subject was perhaps a result of the growing influence of Delft painters such as Hendrick van Vliet.
