Caravaggio and the Painters of the North
This exhibition focuses on Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) and his influence on the circle of northern European painters who were fascinated by his work and disseminated his style. Caravaggio and the Painters of the North, commissioned by Gert Jan van der Sman, staff member of the Dutch Institute for Art History in Florence (Utrecht University) and Professor at Leiden University, will both analyse the legacy of Caravaggio and offer an idea of the wide range of reactions that his works provoked.
The exhibition will include a group of paintings that encompass all of Caravaggio鈥檚 career, from his Roman period to the dark, moving compositions of his final years, which will be shown alongside a selection of works by his most important followers in Holland, Flanders and France, including Nicolas Regnier, Dirk van Baburen, David de Haen, Gerrit van Honthorst, Hendrick Ter Brugghen, Simon Vouet, Claude Vignon, Nicolas Tournier and Valentin de Bolougne.
