Getting started with the collection:
The Descent from the Cross by Torchlight
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1654
The men taking Christ down from the cross after his death use a linen sheet to carefully lower his body. They are lit by a figure under the ladder holding a torch, the only light source in the scene. Everything directly around the flame is brightly illuminated, while details somewhat further away quickly vanish in the darkness of the night.
