This is the exhibition catalogue 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, and therefore its catalogue, shows a group of paintings that
encompass all of Caravaggio’s career, from his Roman period to the dark, moving
compositions of his final years, which is 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.
