I’m a firm believer that the best way for photographers to learn about image composition is to look at the work of great painters. Painters such as Caravaggio and Rembrandt understood color, form, and space. They invented their images out of whole cloth controlling every aspect of them via a very direct medium. Photographers can learn a lot about the components of a great image from the great masters.

Agreed. It's certainly a big part of why I always included this content in my history of photography class.
