"Night Scene with a Burning House" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Egbert van der Poel. Known for his depictions of nocturnal scenes and cityscapes, particularly those illustrating the catastrophic effects of the Delft gunpowder magazine explosion in 1654, van der Poel often explored the theme of fire and its impact on urban life.

This particular work captures the dramatic intensity of a nocturnal fire as it engulfs a building. The painting is characterized by its vivid contrast between the dark night sky and the fierce, glowing flames that illuminate the scene. Van der Poel's skillful use of chiaroscuro enhances the sense of urgency and chaos that such a disaster would entail. The artist's attention to the reactions of the onlookers, ranging from horror to efforts to combat the blaze, provides a poignant human element to the scene.

While the exact date of "Night Scene with a Burning House" is not definitively known, it is believed to have been created after the Delft explosion, as van der Poel produced a number of works on similar themes during that period. The painting serves as a historical document of the dangers of urban fires in the pre-modern era, as well as a testament to van der Poel's fascination with the interplay of light and shadow.

Held in various collections over the centuries, the painting's provenance reflects the appreciation for Dutch Golden Age art and the particular niche van der Poel carved out within that genre. "Night Scene with a Burning House" remains an important work for its artistic merit and as a representation of 17th-century Dutch culture and society's relationship with disaster and resilience.
