At Traditional Art Technique Atelier you can discover how it feels to be an authentic old master through experiencing the craftsmanship and diving into the spirit of the Dutch & Flemish painters from the XVII century.
We believe that through genuine involvement in the atmosphere of an old master’s atelier – working with raw materials and studying classical techniques – you can become part of creating a meaningful work of art, be it in a very early or advanced stage of the process. It is a combination of lust for knowledge, love for the beauty of nature, skill, practice and observance. 🎨✨

Most precious blue pigment for paints comes from this Afghan Lapis Lazuli gemstone. 💙💙💙 It is a blue semiprecious stone mined in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan for centuries. It can be found in other locations in Asia and America but only a couple of Afgan mines produce the highest grade (a very deep purplish blue) of this unique stone. It is a complex mineral composed of lazurite, calcite, sodalite and pyrite. It has many varieties of color in ranges from a light blue denim to a deep dark purplish blue tone depending on the value of lazurite in the composition.

Utrecht, Caravaggio and Europe Exhibition: Centraal Museum, Utrecht: 16 December 2018 to 24 March 2019

Rome was the center of the world in the beginning of the Golden Age. Young painters from all over Europe went to the Eternal City, where - so the rumor circulated - Caravaggio had caused a revolution. A new realism in painting, unprecedented drama and a mystery of light. You had to see that with your own eyes.

The exhibition "Utrecht, Caravaggio and Europe" concentrates on Caravaggio’s followers in Europe, and particularly in Utrecht: the so-called Utrecht Caravaggisti painters Dirck van Baburen, Hendrick ter Brugghen and Gerard van Honthorst.

In the early seventeenth century, these three young artists left the medieval city of Utrecht for a long journey across the Alps, to visit revolutionary Rome. Colleagues from France, Spain and Flanders made the same journey. In Rome they must have undergone something of a culture shock, especially after seeing the work by Caravaggio. He did not paint idealised images of nature, as was customary in the Italian Renaissance, but he painted ‘after life’. The young painters were taken aback by this life-like realism, but also very impressed by the vivid dramatic quality of his work and the mesmerizing depiction of light. They decided to follow in his footsteps, and hence these painters formed the ‘International Caravaggisti Movement’.

Utrecht, Caravaggio en Europa brengt het Rome van 1600-1630 naar Utrecht.

The exhibition ‘Pure Rubens’ (till 13 January at the Boijmans Museum of Rotterdam) is the largest overview of Rubens’ oil sketches in sixty-five years. Each of the oil sketches displays the brilliant touch of the master himself. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is proud owner of an important collection of Rubens’ oil sketches. The collection is unique in The Netherlands and among the finest of the world. ‘Pure Rubens’ reveals the painter’s unmatched imaginative powers: his ability to tell stories in ways so original and exciting that you will be swept away. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid have collaborated to bring together the most beautiful works that show the master’s hand in all its facets and reveal his temperament: ambitious, spirited and plentiful.
