The World of Gerard van Honthorst provides a wealth of new insights into Honthorst's career, his oeuvre and the various artistic and cultural circles in which he moved. This book recounts his childhood as the eldest child in his family; his education in Utrecht; how, as a young adult, he set off on an adventure in Italy and ended up living in Rome, where he spent what may have been the most successful and happiest years of his life. It recounts how he returned to his native country, started a family and reinvented himself as a painter. It describes his success, both nationally and internationally, and how he embarked on a second career in The Hague, which brought him prosperity and standing.
