I love how the people of ancient Judea dressed like courtiers in Renaissance Italy :-)

True ;) (or would it be Holland / The Netherlands or whatever it was called then?)

Rembrandt is one of my favorites artists. Up there with Bosch, Thomas Cole, and John Martin. I like very big and detailed paintings. But, Rembrandt was special to me because of his dark and claustrophobic atmosphere that he often had. It is unique and compelling.
