One of the first candlelit genre scenes to be painted in the Netherlands was Peter Paul Rubens's small painting from ca. 1616-1617 of Old Woman and a Boy with Candles (Mauritshuis, The Hague). Rubens circulated the composition in the form of this print, which he published with a Latin inscription quoting Ovid's Art of Love: "Who would forbid light to be taken from another light presented? Even if thousands do so, nothing is lost from it."
