About
"What a shock it must have been for the Utrecht painters Hendrick ter Brugghen, Gerard van Honthorst and Dirck van Baburen when, in Rome, they first saw Caravaggio's breathtakingly unconventional paintings with their own eyes. Under the influence of this great, inspirational master and by exchanging ideas wih the many young artists who poured into the pulsating Italian metropolis around the year 1600, these three men of Utrecht developed their very own, distinctive style by propelling Caravaggio's radical realism to its culmination."--Page 4 of cover. Rom ist um 1600 das Zentrum der Welt. Angelockt von Caravaggios aufsehenerregendem Erfolg ziehen junge Künstler aus ganz Europa in die pulsierende Metropole. Die aufstrebenden Maler studieren dieselben Werke, tauschen sich aus und finden im Stil Caravaggios zu einer individuellen Bildsprache. Auf den Spuren der drei bedeutendsten Utrechter Caravaggisten zeichnen die Autoren die Atmosphäre dieser künstlerischen Aufbruchsstimmung nach. Erst im Vergleich mit ihren europäischen Malerkollegen zeigt sich, wie stark gerade die niederländische Tradition mit ihrer Lust am drastischen Realismus das Schaffen der Utrechter prägte. Exhibition: Centraal Museum, The Netherlands (15.12.2018-24.03.2019) / Alte Pinakothek, München, Gemany (17.04.-21.07.2019).
