I wonder if there is anything about Rembrandt that was not said before. One thing that amazes me is how his style - and, of course, the use of light and shadows - is connected to Caravaggio's since Rembrandt never left Holland (or did he?). The Italian was the first one to create such dramatic chiaroscuro effects and died when Rembrandt was only 4 years old or so. Some dutch painters started developing the Caravaggio approach in Rembrandt's era so maybe he captured it from his fellows.
