Afterall what is a painting but the interpretation of light ?<BR/>I'm an appreciator of Vermeer and Caravaggio, both masters of light.<BR/>Another known dutch painter that I quite like is Pieter de Hooch.<BR/>For those interested on Vermeer I advise to visit the excellent site Essential Vermeer.<BR/>Finally as a last reference, I would like to refer the wonderful painting by Joseph Wright : "An experiment on a bird in an air pump", 1768 (National Gallery).<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>JoséJosé Carrilho (Go Detail)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965916774046623372noreply@blogger.com
