Gerard van Honthorst (4 November 1592 - 27 April 1656) - Attributed, Jesus Christ and Nicodemus

Nicodemus meets Jesus under the cover of night as recorded in the third chapter of John in the Bible. Stom relied on dramatic chiaroscuro in his work, often created by a single light source, such as a candle in this case. Red and yellow dominate. The drama of his scenes is underlined by the lively gestures and expressions of the characters. The use of half figures shown from close up draws the viewer into the scene., Oil on canvas, 56 x 41 cm
