About this work

This painting shows a dimly lit stone hallway with tall arches and thick columns. A man and woman in fancy 16th-century clothes stand in the center, holding hands. Behind them, two other men in dark robes and hats walk toward a small table with a candle. The floor is patterned with light-colored tiles, and a chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The woman’s red dress stands out against the muted stone walls. Notice how the light falls mostly on their faces and clothes, leaving the shadows deep and dark. If you like this play of light and shadow, look up chiaroscuro.
