This is a magnificent painting. I saw it at the Prado in Spain. The utilization of the color black in the background overwelms the viewer in a manner which brings great solitude.

I spent over an hour in front of this near live sized painting. Could not take my eyes off it. The emotion of the experience haunts me still.
