Excerpt, and some sites: Rembrandt's subject matter was as diverse as Amsterdam and he etched myriad intimate observations from everyday life including scenes of beggars, children, animals, and various people at their professions. Many of these "genre" pieces capture the same psychological intenseness as his commissioned portraits. http://www.franklinbowlesgallery.com/SF/Artists/Rembrandt/Pages/sf_rembhome.html In the cases of The Musicians, The Mummers and The Drummers we are able to see how Rembrandt used the reflections to double the subject matter. There are nearly eighty other examples of this procedure that could be cited among Rembrandt's drawings.

Caravaggio and Rembrandt both masterfully employed chiaroscuro to enhance their narratives, but their subject matter often differed. Caravaggio focused on dramatic biblical scenes and everyday life, using stark contrasts of light and shadow to evoke emotional intensity and realism. In contrast, Rembrandt's work often delved into introspective portraits and historical themes, utilizing softer light transitions to convey depth and a sense of humanity. While both artists used light to guide the viewer's eye, Caravaggio's approach was more theatrical, whereas Rembrandt's was contemplative and atmospheric.

Rembrandt lighting in photography is a technique where the subject is illuminated from one side, creating a triangle of light on the opposite cheek. This technique is named after the Dutch painter Rembrandt, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow. Examples of Rembrandt lighting in photography can be seen in portraits where the light source is positioned at a 45-degree angle to the subject, creating a distinct triangle of light on the face.
