Christ Crowned with Thorns
by TERBRUGGHEN, Hendrick, Oil on canvas, 207 x 240 cm
Hendrick Terbrugghen spent his formative years in Rome where Caravaggio became the main influence. Upon his return he became the prime mover of a new school, the Utrecht Caravaggists, whose trademark style was an insistent naturalism combined with a high-contrast vein of painting known as chiaroscuro.
