From Caravaggio\u2019s intense scenes to Rembrandt\u2019s profound portraits, artists had been experimenting with darkness for centuries. This painting shows how deeply Dutch 17th-century artists were drawn to the dark. It dwells in the darkest part of the church, brooding among shadows. At the sides, we can see the church\u2019s public spaces are brightly lit, presumably with many candles. But in the dark, less visited part, fears and phantoms might dwell. In a great horror story by Sheridan Le Fanu<\/a>, the similarly dark paintings of Gottfried Schalken turn out to contain a terrifying secret. Perhaps this painting holds a horror story of its own, for a tomb in it bears the name of Hendrick van Steenwyck the Younger \u2013 but the canvas is signed by him too. Did he paint it posthumously? A more boring explanation is that it\u2019s by an imitator.
