rembrandt's the anatomy lesson of dr nicholas told is the quintessential renaissance art work the participants are gathered around the corpse of a criminal and the body is bathed in light. in the eighteenth century the english painter william turner took the use of light to a new level in his work the slave ship the sky and see below. light floods the canvas and miller's contrasts turner also made use of dissolves and fading effects which he copied from early photographs. in the twentieth century photography became the preferred medium for experimenting with light. gifted photographers like man ray made substantial contributions to this art form. we want to today's most important artists care how it reached there has found new ways to use light is still life skull with candle plays with our perceptions. the images are indistinct lurd shimmering and nothing is as it seems. james to rail uses many of the same effects in his works images clendon to one another playing tricks on the viewers imagination. in college to real studied psychology mathematics and astronomy these disciplines are reflected

curtains and steel fire doors at the doors and the arches and having no idea that great works by rembrandt, all of the great works of the national gallery were here. so the artwork was only here for a couple years. it was realized even before the war was completely done that they weren't at risk in the way they thought. it was about a year when they were housed in this room and guests were walking past and there were guards on duty and even dogs on duty. but guests were walking past and had no idea. then in 1943 the estate closed to guests because of a lack of manpower. so many people were involved in the war and also because of rations with gasoline. so the artwork hung here on racks, safe and tucked away, for another year, year and a half or so, and then was sent back i believe in 1944. mrs. vanderbilt didn't charge the gallery for that. we have a beautiful letter saying that it was really -- that it was part of her american duty, part of her patriotic duty to house and keep this art safe at biltmore. so it's interesting to think why these spaces may not have been finished. many people s
