Thanks, this was very informative.
If I have understood it right this will be the effect of blinding.
I believe this tool can be seen clearly in the picture "St. Peter Denying Christ" by Rembrandt.
Not only has he used the red in big parts of the shadows, which creates a glowing temperature to the whole painting and especially the lit parts, he also enforced the tonal contrast in shadow areas close to the light-source.
