Baburen, a native of utrecht, was among the first to introduce caravaggio’s revolutionary style to the netherlands.

This musician’s loose, colorful dress marks him as a figure at the edges of society, unbound by behavioral norms—associations enhanced by his bold gaze, unshaven face, and cheeky grin complete with broken tooth.
