Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, 1665

art’s epiphany—

all light is borrowed from God

to reflect glory!

in chiaroscuro contrast—

we’re shadowed, yet drawn to light

Idea of “borrowed light” taken from book I’m reading, Rembrandt is in the Wind, by Russ Ramsey.

    Good reminder:

    “all light is borrowed from God

    to reflect glory!”
