2 - It is a city that has an important place among the caravaggism movements and has hosted an art movement called utrecht caravaggism. When names such as hendrick ter brugghen, gerard van honthorst and dirck van baburen, who visited Rome in the early 17th century, returned to their hometowns of Utrecht, they imitated the great master caravaggio's use of light in a wonderful way, like Rembrandt, who had never visited Italy. They helped the giant and many other Dutch painters to understand the light, technique and realism of Caravaggio.
