Caravaggio and the Painters of the North

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

From 21 June to 18 September 2016, the #museo Thyssen-Bornemisza will be presenting #caravaggio and the Painters of the North, an exhibition that focuses on Michelangelo Merisi da #caravaggio (Milan, 1571 – Porto Ercole, 1610) and his influence on the northern European artists who were fascinated by his painting and disseminated his style. 

Curated by Gert Jan van der Sman, professor at the University of Leiden and a member of the Istituto Universitario Olandese di Storia dell'Arte in Florence, the exhibition analyses the artist's legacy and the wide variety of responses that his work provoked. 

On display will be 53 paintings, twelve of them by #caravaggio, loaned from private collections, museums and institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and the church of San Pietro in Montorio in Rome. 

The exhibition will offer a survey of Caravaggio's career from his Roman period to the moving dark paintings of his final years, shown alongside a selection of works by his most important followers in Holland (Dirk van Baburen, Gerrit van Honthorst and Hendrick Ter Brugghen), Flanders (Nicolas Régnier and Louis Finson) and France (Simon Vouet, Claude Vignon and Valentin de Boulogne).
