Excerpt from The Complete Work of Rembrandt, Vol. 4: History, Description and Heliographic Reproduction of All the Master's Pictures, With a Study of His Life and His Art The effect of evening light in a slightly larger picture ofthe same vear, the Duke of Westminster's Salutation of (he Virgin and si. Elisabet/t (plate 241) at Grosvenor House is, on the other hand, bright and powerful. This scene has the air ofa domestic episode of some legendary time and place, in which a deep and intimate emotion finds expression among personages of princely rank. The Virgin, dainty as some royal lady. Stands at the portal of a palace, between the aged Zacharias and atten dant servants, and receives the reverent embrace of Elizabeth. In the distance behind them a town lies in the shadow of twilight, dominated by a Gothic cathedral with a massive unfinished tower. -ve find a similar church under various aspects in many drawings and pictures of this period. The small Holy Family in the Louvre (plate known as Le Menage da is probably the best known and the most highly esteemed of Rembrandt's pictures of the Holy Family painted at this period. It owes its popularity primarily to its magical effect of evening light in an interior, a light. That spreads its glowing radiance over the piece of landscape seen through the Open window. But the expression of happiness in the two women, busying themselves with motherly delight about the sleeping naked babe, whose little figure is illumined by a warm ray of sunshine, while Joseph works behind them in the shadow near the window, the delicate elaboration of the interior with its manifold details in Chiaroscuro, fully justify the fame of the work. Nevertheless, the versions of this subject painted a few years later rise above this by the beauty of the local colour, which by that time the master had again contrived to combine with his Chiaroscuro.
