The choices are Caravaggio, an artist who uses light and dark in his paintings of biblical scenes for dramatic effect, and Rembrandt, who is known for his magnificent and realistic self-portraits. Look at the pictures in our text and at these links and then choose one artist you feel is more important.
Caravaggio: https://www.artble.com/artists/caravaggio Here are some details from that website: Caravaggio's works constitute some of the most stunning works in the entire history of Western painting. Observing the evolution of his style from his early works (The Fortune Teller, Bacchus and Narcissus) to his major successes (The Calling of Saint Matthew and Doubting Thomas) to his final paintings (David with the Head of Goliath) is like watching the tumultuous ups and downs of his life.
Rembrandt: https://www.rembrandtpainting.net Here are some details from that website: No artist has left a loftier or more penetrating personal testament than Rembrandt van Rijn.
In more than 90 portraits of himself that date from the outset of his career in the 1620s to the year of his death in 1669, he created an autobiography in art that is the equal of the finest ever produced in literature even of the intimately analytical Confessions of St. Augustine.
