Christ among the Doctors  1609

by Orazio Borgianni

In Rome, Borgianni became acquainted with the new style of Caravaggio, whose influence can be discerned in the group of elders surrounding the brightly illuminated young Jesus. According to the Bible, Christ astonished them with his knowledge.
Paintings like this made a deep impression on the Dutch painters who visited Rome during the 17th century.
