Copies of Caravaggio's innovative paintings travelled to Holland where Rembrandt saw them.
The Italian's influence then changed his work from small colourful scenes to the chiaroscuro effects we now associated with the Dutch painter.

Beside me – ‘All you love most there
Has blossomed again,’ she murmurs,
'All that you missed there
Has grown to be yours.’
