This painting is briefly but intensely featured in Ken Russell’s berserk 80s movie “Gothic”, a fictional recounting of Lord Byron and friends getting together for demonic games one night in Byron’s castle on a Swiss lake island.
The hallucinations of that night planted the seed of an idea in Mary Shelley’s mind, which became the story of Frankenstein’s monster.

A specific vibration or position of the atoms, containing the information of changes in movement…
That’s high-tech indeed, but still sounds like classical physics to me, even with the ultra-cold temperatures involved, no Uncertainty Principle at play.
