In this episode, I’ll be looking at Rembrandt’s “The Mill,” a long time favorite of mine. You can find a larger version on the gallery’s website. Look for the zoom tool on the page which allows you to magnify and pan around the image.

We’ll find hidden figures and hear about the controversy that surrounded the painting.
