A pupil of his father Jan, Michiel is a great specialist in candlelit night scenes, and here he delivers a touching interpretation of the Gospel of
Luke 15:8-10:
"If a woman has ten pieces of silver and loses one, will she not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
When she has found it, she gathers her friends and neighbours and says to them, "Rejoice with me, for I have found the silver coin I had lost!"
So I tell you: there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who is converted."
