Untitled
1784
From the collection of Rijksmuseum
Untitled is a 1784 by Unknown, depicting Grote Kerk, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a small, dark room with a single candle on a table. A man in a red coat leans over the flame, reading a letter. The light barely touches his face and hands. No one knows who painted it, but the way the candle glow cuts through the shadows feels almost like a trick. The artist used thin layers of paint to make the light look soft and real. To see more quiet candle-lit scenes, visit the Rijksmuseum.
