...pale colors and excited forms of the Mannerists are well represented in this show by the paintings of Bloemaert, Cornelis Van Haarlem, and Honthorst and Terbrugghen--with rich colors and deep chiaroscuro effects (contrasts of light and dark) are also fairly well sampled, as are the Italianate canvasses, including paintings by Poelenburgh and Nicolaes Berchem.
