Utrecht, the cradle of Dutch realism and light
A historic city in the heart of the Netherlands, Utrecht combines medieval charm, the serenity of its canals, and spiritual intensity. A city of art and faith, it became a major center of Dutch painting from the 17th century, rivaling Amsterdam and Haarlem. Its warm light, ancient alleys, and intimate atmosphere have inspired some of the greatest masters of the Dutch Golden Age.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Utrecht, as depicted by Gerard van Honthorst, Dirck van Baburen, Hendrick ter Brugghen, Jan van Scorel, Abraham Bloemaert, and Jan Both. These painters, influenced by Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro, created a unique style — powerful, luminous, and profoundly human.

The elegance of Utrecht in your decor
Hanging an art print of Utrecht invites the warmth and nobility of Dutch painting into your home. The art prints of Utrecht evoke both the serenity of the canals, peaceful interiors, and the golden light bathing the compositions of the Dutch Golden Age.
These works perfectly complement a classic, contemporary, or Scandinavian decor, adding a touch of depth and balance.
A scene of an inn painted by Honthorst, a religious composition by ter Brugghen, or an Italian landscape by Jan Both will illuminate your walls with warm, spiritual light.
The Utrecht painting style is distinguished by its humanity: expressive faces, subtle chiaroscuro, and rare emotional intensity.

The great painters of Utrecht
Gerard van Honthorst (1592–1656), nicknamed Gherard of the Nights, was the most famous representative of Dutch Caravaggism. His candlelit scenes are among the most striking of the 17th century.
Hendrick ter Brugghen (1588–1629) translated Caravaggio’s Italian influence into a more sober and poetic style, where light becomes a symbol of truth.
Dirck van Baburen (1595–1624), known for his tavern and music scenes, brought vibrant realism to Utrecht painting.
Jan van Scorel (1495–1562), a pioneer of the Dutch Renaissance, introduced the Italian heritage to Utrecht long before the Golden Age.
Abraham Bloemaert, a master of Mannerism and teacher to several generations of painters, made Utrecht a major artistic hub.
Finally, Jan Both (1618–1652) embodied Italian light in Dutch landscapes, offering a perfect synthesis between North and South.
These artists made Utrecht a city where art flourishes between spirituality, realism, and emotion.
