...world. Mysterious glory, which does not derive from genius alone. Other illustrious portraits can be compared to this one. But every year a few poor deluded women think they are Mona Lisa, yet not one ever thinks she is a figure by Raphael, by Titian or by Rembrandt . . .

The brooding landscape displays Rembrandt's vision of landscape as a wide stage on which the drama of nature is acted-trees pitted against sky, light battling with shadow, serenity threatened by a gathering storm...
