About the workAndreas Achenbach painted the church of Cappenberg Abbey from an atypical perspective. Instead of a view of the altar, he chose a position behind the choir stalls, which makes orientation difficult. The way the light falls draws the viewer’s gaze into the interior of the church. These monastery grounds in southern Münsterland had not been owned by the church since the beginning of the nineteenth century. At the time this painting was realised, they belonged to the noblewoman Therese vom Stein, who had inherited them from her father, the influential Prussian politician Karl Freiherr vom Stein.
