Rembrandt
Jed Pearl, of the New Republic, here gives a brilliant exposition of the later Rembrandt religious paintings. These were part of an exhibition at the National Gallery this Winter and are now at the Getty. Worth a trip. Worth a read. Perl focuses on these disquieting and intensely philosophical pictures. http://www.tnr.com/docprint.mhtml?i=20050606&s=perl060605
