	"As if dazzled by the flash bulb of an old camera, I was left with these images burned and lingering under my eyelids" -- Melissa Lesnie "The various tableaux, redolent of the chiaroscuro of depositions, pietas and crucifixions and suchlike by Caravaggio, de la Tour, Rubens and Ribera, are as moving as they are simple" -- William Yeoman
