The exhibition brings together works by minds such as Matthias Stom, Hendrick de Somer, Abraham Janssens, and Jan van Dalem; artists whose careers unfolded across Rome, Naples, Antwerp, and Brussels. Among the works on view is a representative cross-section of Flemish engagements with Caravaggio. Matthias Stom’s Mocking of Christ, with its pared-back nocturnal intensity; Hendrick de Somer’s Neapolitan David with the Head of Goliath, which reflects the city’s shift from Ribera’s stark naturalism toward a softer, more chromatic idiom. Abraham Janssens’s Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist, however, signals the classicising turn of an artist who had been among the earliest Flemish painters to confront Caravaggio in Rome. A newly identified Bacchus by Jan van Dalem, a rare example from an exceptionally small oeuvre, demonstrates his independence from mainstream stylistic currents.
