Boy Playing Recorder by Ter Brugghen, 1621

This Dutch masterpiece wonderfully shows the artist's preference for half-figures in dimmer lighting. This work is presently in the Staatliche Kunstammlungen, Kassel, Germany. Hendrick ter Brugghen was a leading Dutch follower of the Italian Michelangelo Caravaggio. He was born in about 1588 and at an early age moved with his family to Utrecht. He was in Rome in 1604 where he was heavily influenced by Caravaggio as well as Carracci, Domenichino and Reni. He favored half-length figures and strong contrasts between light and dark surfaces. Though he died early in 1629 at the age of 41, his influence was widespread in the next generation of Dutch Masters.
