"The Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest" is a 1628 oil painting by Flemish artist Willem van Haecht that showcases the art collection of the Antwerp merchant Cornelis van der Geest. This painting is an example of a "gallery painting," a genre that emerged in the early 17th century in Antwerp, which depicts the interiors of collectors' art galleries, often with visitors. Van Haecht was known for his detailed and intricate gallery paintings, and this work is considered one of his masterpieces.

The painting serves as both a visual inventory of van der Geest's extensive art collection and a portrayal of the cultural and social milieu of the time. It features numerous individuals, likely including artists, scholars, and nobility, who are engaged in viewing and discussing the artworks. The gallery itself is depicted as an opulent space, filled with paintings, sculptures, and other objects of art from various periods and regions, reflecting the eclectic tastes of the collector and the era's fascination with the art and culture of both the past and the exotic.

Willem van Haecht's "The Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its documentary value, providing insight into the practices of art collecting, display, and connoisseurship in the early 17th century. The painting is currently held in the Rubenshuis museum in Antwerp, Belgium, which was once the home and studio of Peter Paul Rubens, a contemporary of both van Haecht and van der Geest.
