The first in-depth study of the Utrecht artist to address questions
beyond connoisseurship and attribution, this book makes a
significant contribution to Ter Brugghen and Northern Caravaggist
studies. Focusing on the Dutch master's simultaneous use of
Northern archaisms with Caravaggio's motifs and style, Natasha
Seaman nuances our understanding of Ter Brugghen's appropriations
from the Italian painter. Her analysis centers on four paintings,
all depicting New Testament subjects. They include Ter Brugghen's
largest and first known signed work (Crowning with Thorns), his
most archaizing (the Crucifixion), and the two paintings most
directly related to the works of Caravaggio (the Doubting Thomas
and the Calling of Matthew). By examining the ways in which Ter
Brugghen's paintings deliberately diverge from Caravaggio's, Seaman
sheds new light on the Utrecht artist and his work. For example,
she demonstrates that where Caravaggio's paintings are boldly
illusionistic and mimetic, thus de-emphasizing their materiality,
Ter Brugghen's works examined here create the opposite effect,
connecting their content to their made form. This study not only
illuminates the complex meanings of the paintings addressed here,
but also offers insights into the image debates and the status of
devotional art in Italy and Utrecht in the seventeenth century by
examining one artist's response to them.
