"Baglione learned the fundamentals of his art from the Mannerist masters of the late Cinquecento; this remains undeniably evident even in his later works. From about 1600 onward he was decisively influenced by the example of Caravaggio, whose chiaroscuro and painting technique he attempted to imitate. The imitation is only superficial, however. Baglione sought to avoid the "ugliness" of Caravaggio and to disguise the naturalistic simplicity of his style by adding the proper requisites of a more noble manner. There is thus inherent in his art an element of contradiction . . . After Caravaggio's early departure from Rome, Baglione won for himself a freer field."
