At the core of the volume is a reconstruction of Johannes’s critical reception, biography

and career, with particular emphasis on his decisive Italian sojourn in Rome and Venice.


This monograph offers the first comprehensive study devoted to Johannes van Bronchorst (Utrecht, 1627 – Amsterdam, 1656), a painter long eclipsed by his more celebrated

father, Jan Gerritsz. van Bronchorst. Although his career was cut short by an early death

at the age of twenty-nine, Johannes emerges as a key figure in mid-seventeenth-century

Dutch painting, occupying a pivotal position in the transition from Caravaggesque naturalism to classicism.
