"Theodoor van Loon (1581-/82-1649) was one of the first painters from the Southern Netherlands to have been inspired by the example of Caravaggio. He became one of the most prominent painters of his day, producing important commissions for the court of Archdukes Albert and Isabella, as well as for numerous religious orders in Brussels and its environs. However, his reputation has since waned."
