"Interior of the Jesuit Church, Antwerp" is a notable oil painting by Flemish artist Pieter Neefs the Younger, created in the 17th century. This work is an exquisite example of Neefs' mastery in capturing the architectural details and the interplay of light and shadow within church interiors, a genre for which he is particularly renowned. The painting depicts the ornate interior of the Jesuit Church in Antwerp, also known as the Church of St. Ignatius, which was a prominent example of Baroque architecture in the city.

Pieter Neefs the Younger (1620–after 1675) was a Flemish painter who specialized in these types of church interiors, following in the footsteps of his father, Pieter Neefs the Elder. The younger Neefs' works are characterized by their meticulous attention to perspective and the effects of light, often including figures that were painted by other artists, such as David Teniers the Younger.

The Jesuit Church itself was designed by the architect Peter Huyssens and was completed in 1621. It was renowned for its lavish decoration and elaborate use of marble, gilding, and artworks. Unfortunately, the church was largely destroyed during the French bombardment of Antwerp in 1718, making Neefs' painting an important historical record of the church's original interior.

"Interior of the Jesuit Church, Antwerp" is significant not only as a work of art but also as a document of the era's ecclesiastical architecture and the Jesuit contribution to the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on dramatic and emotive religious spaces. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the grandeur of the Baroque church, encouraging a sense of spiritual awe and wonder that was intended to inspire the faithful in the Counter-Reformation period.

Today, Pieter Neefs the Younger's painting is appreciated for its artistic excellence and its value as a cultural artifact, offering insight into the religious, historical, and social context of the time. It remains a testament to the splendor of the Jesuit Church in Antwerp and the enduring legacy of Baroque art in Flanders.
