Slideshow: ‘Utrecht, Caravaggio und Europa’ exhibition in Munich
Employees make the final preparations during a press event prior to the art exhibition ‘Utrecht, Caravaggio und Europa’ at the Alte Pinakothek Museum in Munich, Germany. The exhibition will open on 17 April and run through 21 July 2019.
The exhibition ‘Utrecht, Caravaggio und Europa’ concentrates on Caravaggio’s followers in Europe, and particularly in Utrecht: the so-called Utrecht Caravaggisti painters Dirck van Baburen, Hendrick ter Brugghen and Gerard van Honthorst.
The exhibition follows these painters on their adventure. It reveals how the journey and stay in Rome affected them, and it presents their most beautiful works, along with that of their European counterparts.
The exhibition also presents some recent insights resulting from technical examinations of the materials they used and from archival research. The exhibition started in Utrecht, The Netherlands and will now open in Munich Germany.
