However, Van Bijlert is not primarily a Caravaggist painter, he is also a Classicist and a painter of 'realistic' Dutch genre scenes and portraits. He was readily inspired by new movements and developments which is reflected in a remarkable versatility in style and content as well as in quality. His inspiration comes from Dutch contemporaries such as Abraham Bloemaert and Gerard van Honthorst, from Italy (Caravaggio, Guido Reni, Orazio Gentileschi) and France (Simon Vouet). The Introduction positions Van Bijlert within the Utrecht School and discusses the appreciation of his work. Chapter One is a short biography of the artist. Chapter Two describes Van Bijlert's art and style in the light of his sources of inspiration.
