Caravaggio’s influence on the new baroque style that emerged from mannerism was profound. It can be seen directly or indirectly in the work of  Peter Paul Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Rembrandt  and artists in the following generation heavily under his influence were called the “Caraggivisti (or “Caravagesques”), as well as tenebrists or tenebrosi (“shadowists”).
