This event has ended.

"Devotions" is a powerful series of still-life paintings devoted entirely to devotional candles. Holland utilizes a striking chiaroscuro descended from Caravaggio to create startling contrasts between the candles, their surrounding objects, and their background through a dynamic illumination. This simple motif imbues an almost divine aura to these glistening candles, while allowing Holland to demonstrate his mastery by replicating the glint of light on surface texture.
