In the painting “Two Candles” by German photorealist Gerhard Richter, we see a canvas divided into two parts with two lit candles against a dark and light background.
The candle, which is on a black background, that is, in the dark, shines brighter, and therefore burns faster. The picture “Two candles” is simple and allegorical in its essence. Everything, as in human life.
