∙ 13y agocaravaggio used light in his paintings to create AND enhance the mood. Most of his paintings consist of half seen women/men covered by shadows, which gives a sense of doubt. Who are these people? Why are they doing what they're doing? In his painting of David and Goliath, he hides most of Goliath's face behind darkness. This not only creates a mood of dred by also enhances the mood of death, as David has just killed him.
Of course, this is just my opinion.

Did Rembrandt paint any portraits of his daughter Cornelia?
No such portrait has survived. This is also what I figured for years, and I feel so ashamed of myself for not being able to see her portrait when looking at her earlier about six or seven years ago. I was shown a portrait of her by this elderly gentleman I met through eBay who sent me his studies of her painting he has of her,.. and also one of her father. He was trying to get Rembrandt experts from Amsterdam to except this portrait of her as being a renditition of another portrait of her half brother Titus, painted in the same costume Titus was warring when holding their pet monkey. I really feel like such an idiot for not being able in seeing her portrait or delving into this mans studies at the time of him sending them to me. I could possibly have help him in finding him some better answers and giving him some advice in possibly discovering a portrait of Rembrandt's daughter Cornelia much earlier. I still do not know what ever happened with these paintings of his and have not heard or seen anything about them since in this MFA world. What a shame!
What year did Rembrandt's monkey kick the bucket?
Can't really say for sure, but I believe it was between 1646 and 1649, when Rembrandt was still painting portrait of clients in his house on the Breestraat, quit a few years before he lost his house in bankruptcy court. Rembrandt loved that monkey, including his son Titus and his mistress Hendrickje also like that monkey. Rembrandt had included that monkey in at least four painting that I know of personally. One of them was mentioned by Holbreaken, a Rembrandt historian who stated it was a known fact Rembrandt painted his dead monkey into a unfinished work of a family portrait. An earlier biographers, Filippo Baldinucci, who based his writings on the testimony of one of Rembrandt's pupils also said something to this effect. It was refused by of the head of the house hold who jump around the painting before Rembrandt was able to cover it up. Rembrandt refused to remove it because of liking its effect, and then proceeded to threw the family out of his house, and was said to have left the painting unfinished.You can copy this link below and paste in your browser if you care to see Rembrandt's painting of his dead monkey in this supposed only family portrait of his.
