The lighting is amazing. This is an extremely accomplished piece of work. How come I've never heard of Joseph Wright?

Lighting was Wright's speciality. The Alchemist is pretty epic too.

Maybe you're not from Derby?
However, if you did ever happen to be in the vicinity, the Derby art gallery has a collection of Joseph Wright's works that is well worth seeing.
