Hendrick ter Brugghen (Terbrugghen)
Born in : 1588 / Dead in : 1629
At the age of fifteen Hendrick ter Brugghen left for Italy. He had already learned the art of painting from the Utrecht history painter Abraham Bloemaert. In Rome Ter Brugghen was enthralled by the work of Caravaggio - particularly his dramatic use of light and his preference for ordinary people as models. Ten years later, he returned to the Republic as one of the first Caravaggists.

Biography   
He worked closely with Dirck van Baburen, another Caravaggist, for some years. Ter Brugghen painted genre scenes of musicians and drinkers, as well as biblical and mythological Classical mythology scenes. The earliest dated work by Ter Brugghen is from 1616. The 'Adoration of the Magi' in the Rijksmuseum dates from 1619.
