“رامبراند بر این نظر بود که راهنمای هنرمند فقط باید طبیعت باشد و نه هیچ قاعده و ضابطه ای دیگر، منظور رامبراند از این گفتار همان بود که پیش از وی کاراوادجو و لاستمن نیز بیان داشته بودند: پرهیز از پیکرهای زیبای آرمانی که مطلوب سنت سبک ایتالیا بود، پرهیز از نقاشی هایی که از ایده های تناسب کامل و ترسیم درست فضایل عالی نشأت گیرد. هنرمند باید به دنیای واقعی پیرامون خویش و مردمی که در کوچه و بازار بر گرد خویش می بیند بنگرد و مدل های تابلوهای خویش را از بین مردم ساده و خامدست و معمولی برگزیند نه صرفا به قصد آن که توصیف واقعگرایانه ی صحیحی را ارائه دهد بلکه بدان منظور که به هنر نقاشی جنبه ای دموکرات وار و مردمی ببخشد و حالت نجیب زادگی و اشرافیت تصنعی را از فضای تابلوها بزداید، به آثار نقاشی خاصیت تاثیرگذاری دراماتیکی بدهد، و با این عمل، از درک دنیای پیرامون خویش و آنچه واقعا در آن می گذرد لذتی واقعی ببرد.”

“رامبراند در عالم نقاشی شور و هیجانی پدید آورده بود. می توان گفت که نقاشی را از قید و بندهای سنتی آزاد ساخته و به این هنر جلوه ای دموکرات مآب و مردمی وار بخشیده بود. می توان گفت بالاترین موهبتی که هنر می تواند نصیب ما بسازد این است که ما را از قیود و محدودیت های سنتی و کهن در عرصه ی فهم و درک و احساس و اندیشه رهایی بخشد.”
