Christ among the Doctors

Orazio Borgianni (1574–1616), oil on canvas, c. 1609

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.
