From Louvre, Paris:
In this picture, Rembrandt mixed allusions to the Christianity’s beginnings (the architecture is reminiscent of Paleochristian basilicas) and other painters (the large alcove may have been inspired by a picture by Titian). In this symphony of natural and divine light, everything is nuanced, from the iridescent colors of Christ’s robe to the gradated emotions of the faithful recognizing the risen Savior.
