How could this be painted by a human hand?
"No other artist in history has ever been able to paint light in this way. With a single candle, Georges de La Tour was capable of illuminating an entire scene, and doing so in a truly masterful way.
The Penitent Magdalene is one of his most famous works, and although his talent was extraordinary and recognized in his own time, today his paintings do not receive the attention they deserve. And yet, every time I look at this work, I find myself wondering how it is possible that it was painted by a human hand." from the video introduction
