Description
The Night School, Gerard Dou, c. 1660 - c. 1665.
In a dark classroom, a schoolmaster raises an admonishing finger at a boy standing in shadow, while a girl diligently recites her lesson by the bright light of a candle. Represented in this way, the light assumes a deeper meaning as the light of knowledge. Dou demonstrates his skill in rendering artificial light by including no fewer than four different light sources in this painting.
