Baroque

Around 1600 an upheaval began in Rome that occupied European painting for a century: Caravaggio let his figures step out of deep darkness into the light and took his models from the street, even for church commissions such as the Saint Matthew paintings of the Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi (from 1599). Among those who carried this painting of light and dark further was Artemisia Gentileschi, whose Judith pictures push the dramatic gravity of this art to its utmost.

Each region translated the new tone differently. In Antwerp Peter Paul Rubens organised a great workshop for altarpieces and princely commissions, in Madrid Diego Velázquez became court painter to Philip IV in 1623, and Francisco de Zurbaran worked for the monasteries of Andalusia. In the Calvinist north, by contrast, a middle-class art market emerged; Rembrandt van Rijn in Amsterdam and Jan Vermeer van Delft painted for private buyers rather than for church and crown. Rembrandt's Night Watch of 1642 was made as a group portrait of an Amsterdam civic guard company, and of Vermeer only some three dozen paintings are known today, most of them quiet interior scenes.

This diversity of patrons explains the breadth of the genres: the lavishly piled banquet still life of a Jan Davidsz de Heem, the devotional pictures with which Bartolomé Esteban Murillo found buyers in Seville and far beyond Spain. To these come the ideal harbour landscapes Claude Lorrain painted in Rome for collectors from all over Europe, history, portraiture and scenes of everyday life. Hardly any age has set painting more tasks.
