I suppose Rembrandt painted with that kind of lighing because that was the way people viewed the world indoors before electrical light was invented. Imagine how different the world must have been with only candles or your fireplace to light your room!

But still today, a light from the side makes the pictures much more interesting than the flat front light such as you see in amateur flashlight photos.
