Book excerpt: The first in-depth study of Hendrick ter Brugghen to address questions beyond connoisseurship and attribution, this book illuminates the complex meanings of some of the Dutch master's works.

At the same time, she offers insights into the image debates and status of devotional art in Italy and Utrecht in the seventeenth century.
