The artist and his influence

His artistic journey, marked by varied influences, testifies to intellectual curiosity and a desire for innovation. Operating in a context where religious painting coexisted with secular themes, Backer managed to establish a dialogue between these two worlds. His work has inspired many contemporary artists and contributed to shaping the evolution of Baroque painting in Europe. Rediscovering works such as "The Elevation of the Cross" makes us aware of the lasting impact of his art, which continues to influence future generations, both through his technique and his narrative approach.
