I almost cried to see this beautiful, moving painting by my favourite artist. Gerard Richter is wonderful. Thank you.
Just beautiful and in the times we are living in uplifting.
What a wonderful painting!
Wow, beautifully presented in an empty room, whenever I see a candle, it gives a sense of hope for the future.
A simple candle and all that it signifies. And in these times it signifies so much to so many. A very poignant painting.
Thank you! Loved this .
Stunning, moving, ethereal use of paint. Its simplicity is exquisite and beautiful.
The best one yet! I love this painting and felt quite emotional watching this presentation.
A remarkably sad painting too. ‘Out, out, brief candle.....’ A poignant beauty.
Incredible
