	Pioneers of Dutch Art
		Gerrit van Honthorst, who lived between 1590 and 1656, was the chief liaison between Caravaggism and the painters of Holland.
		Honthorst retuned to Utrecht in 1621, and a painting such as his Procuress, done in 1625 when he was at the peak of his powers, shows how completely he had assimilated the two traditions of Holland and Italy.
		The scene was to be painted many times by painters coming after Honthorst and is typical of Dutch genre painting; but Honthorst treats it in an Italianate manner, giving it a theatrical setting, dramatically lit by a candle in the direct tradition of Caravaggio.
