"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 work is a prime example of a "gallery painting," a genre that emerged in the early 17th century, depicting the interiors of the cabinets of curiosities or art collections of wealthy patrons and collectors. Van Haecht, who was the curator of van der Geest's collection, meticulously rendered a variety of artworks within an opulent setting, creating a detailed inventory of the collector's possessions and a visual testament to his taste and social status.

The painting serves as both a historical record and a celebration of the cultural and intellectual milieu of the time. It features portraits of notable figures from the period, including artists, scholars, and nobility, who are depicted admiring the collection. Among the artworks represented are pieces by renowned artists such as Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, offering insights into the artistic preferences and influences of the era.

"The Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest" is not only a testament to van der Geest's collection but also an example of the interconnectedness of art, commerce, and intellectual life in 17th-century Antwerp. The painting is held in high esteem for its intricate detail, historical value, and as a reflection of the burgeoning art market in the Dutch Golden Age. It is currently housed in the Rubenshuis museum in Antwerp, Belgium, where it continues to be studied and admired for its rich portrayal of the period's artistic culture.
