"Rembrandt. Organ + choir" Automatic translate

April 16, Saturday, 21.00

Duration - 80 minutes.

Rembrandt van Rijn is a legend in the history of art. We peer into his paintings, admiring the depth of the plan, and enjoy the mastery of the portrayed image. We are surprised how much the blackness of the background emphasizes the vitality of the texture. The struggle of light and darkness is a continuous theme of the artist’s work. Rembrandt’s light always triumphs… but darkness is stubbornly waiting in the wings - such is the philosophical reality of existence. In the paintings of the great Dutchman, the primordial music of being sounds. The work of Johann Sebastian Bach - also turned to eternity. And in this two geniuses are, of course, consonant. Just as a ray of light grabs a face from the darkness of space on Rembrandt’s canvas, the sounds of the organ Bach rise to the vault of the cathedral. Polyphony of images sounds choral polyphony.
