Opening the exhibition
Diego Velázquez
Kitchen Scene
the seventeenth century, lit from a single side
An exhibition about the decision to light a picture from one place only, and what that decision costs everything else in the frame.
Every work shown here is in the public domain and comes from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, published under its Open Access programme (CC0). Artist, title, date, medium and the museum’s own credit line are printed under each plate, and every plate links to the object record in Chicago. EPRIS Museum claims no rights in these images.
Works in this exhibition are drawn from Renaissance and Before, The Seventeenth Century.
