The original desire of the French novelist was, by the description of exterior features to bring about in the reader the effect of the antecedents of which this feature is the consequent.

It was most natural for Rembrandt, who lived and died in Holland, to depict what he had before him, and that was a government by the people. In this truly superb impression we have Christ at the height of his fame with the people, represented somewhat in the light of a demagogue. He is in the midst of a group of the sick, who seek...
