About the artist
From the collection of Brukenthal National Museum
Prindere de raci în timpul nopții is a work by Jan Asselyn, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a dark night scene with two figures. One person is bent over, holding something small and bright—maybe a lantern or a fire. The other figure is lying on the ground, wrapped in a cloak. The sky above is thick with clouds, and the whole scene feels quiet and tense. The bright spot in the bent figure’s hands stands out against the dark background. It’s the only real light in the painting, drawing your eye. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark like this.
