"Interior of the Choir of St Bavo at Haarlem" is a notable 17th century painting by Dutch artist Pieter Jansz Saenredam (1597–1665). Finished in 1636, the work is renowned for its detailed and accurate depiction of the interior of the St. Bavo Church, located in the city of Haarlem, the Netherlands.

Saenredam, one of the leading figures of the Dutch Golden Age, devoted much of his oeuvre to the precise and serene rendering of church interiors, utilizing prolonged observation and meticulous arithmetical studies. His paintings, such as "Interior of the Choir of St Bavo at Haarlem," demonstrate a revolutionary approach to the architectural study in the arts, with an unprecedented emphasis on realism, perspective, and light, rather than human forms and narrative content.

In "Interior of the Choir of St Bavo at Haarlem," Saenredam captures the Protestant church's pristine and austere ambiance in the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation. The painting strikes with its spaciousness, the simplicity of its color palette primarily consisting of whites and grays, and exceptional attention to architectural detail – from the relentless verticality of the church's bright, tall columns to the delicate texture of the stone surfaces.

Furthermore, the painting is noted for its sense of geometrical harmony, achieved through careful placement of architectural elements and judicious use of linear perspective—a mathematical technique used to achieve depth and volume in art—that contributes to the overall tranquil and harmonious feeling of the scene. The painting's few human figures are rendered small, emphasizing the grandeur and immensity of the religious space.

The artwork, a testimonial to Saenredam's distinctive artistic style and his meticulous techniques of representation, remains an important part of the Dutch artistic heritage and continues to be a significant contribution to art historical debates regarding realism and the representation of architectural spaces in art.

Currently, "Interior of the Choir of St Bavo at Haarlem" is held and exhibited by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, one of the most important museums of art and history in the Netherlands, contributing to the preservation and research of Dutch visual culture.
