Jan van der Vucht specialised in depicting church interiors, having been apprenticed to the architectural painter, Bartholomeus van Bassen. Though he worked in Delft, The Hague and in Rotterdam, Van der Vucht's œuvre clearly reflects the influence of Flemish painting, such as the work of Antwerp painters Hendrick van Steenwijck and Hans Vredeman de Vries. This composition exemplifies the interest that vaulted naves and ceilings held for the artist.
