 Mercury, Argus and Io by CAMPEN, Jacob van
After his return from Italy to Haarlem, van Campen presumably was in contact with the Utrecht Caravaggisti, thanks to the large landed estate his family owned near Amersfoort, about twenty kilometres from Utrecht.
His close connection to Amersfoort would have enabled him to stay abreast of their innovative paintings, and as he commuted between Amersfoort and Haarlem, he could have kept his colleagues informed of the latest news from Utrecht.
Van Campen's own rare paintings of this period indicate that at the time he was an accomplished Caravaggist.

Designed around 1645 by the Dutch courtly architects Pieter Post and Jacob van Campen, the palace was distinguished from the other courtly residences by a centralized, classical Italian composition, to which the garden was carefully fitted.
Jan van der Heyden's main view of the palace's garden facade, and its pendant, a side view showing one of the garden pavilions, depict the layout in all its detail.

In 1631 the cabbage garden and oak wood adjoining the Binnenhof were sold to Johan Maurits van Nassau, former governor of Brazil, and Constantijn Huygens.
The idea of the old term "cabinet of art", a small room containing valuable objects, curios and pictures, is still reflected in the Koninklijk Kabinet van Schilderijen, the Royal Cabinet of Pictures, in the Mauritshuis: the collection is small, but of the highest quality.
The Mauritshuis and many of its pictures underwent extensive restoration between 1982 and 1987, and its floor space was increased by 700 sq.m/7500 sq.ft by an underground extension, not visible from outside, containing a library, a study room and a store.

Ruurs begins with Frans de Grebber's studio and the three candidates who Swillens (1935) had suggested as possible teachers: Jacob van Campen, Salomon de Bray and Barthomeus van Bassen and gives reasons for preferring a fourth, the surveyor, Pieter Wils.
