I agree with the presenter, Willem van Mieris was one of the finest Dutch painters of the XVII century. I particularly like very much that kind of painting; I mean the exquisite, enamel-like finish of the "fine painters" of the Dutch school. BTW, another great master of candlelight scenes was Godfried Schalcken (1643-1706)
