Discover the art and life of a man who left his indelible mark on Rome – an exile who spent long periods of time running from the law,
experiencing bouts of sickness and extreme suffering while creating his masterpieces which would be largely forgotten after his death,
only to be rediscovered in recent history.
Breaking frontiers in the Baroque style, Caravaggio depicts his subjects in
intense and realistic moments with a decisive and almost dramatic use of light
which convey a sense of immediacy and intimacy. He cavorted with prostitutes and shady characters, even using them as subjects
for religious paintings, leaving behind a scandalous legacy that made him
infamous at the time, and famous today.
Join us on a quest for Caravaggio’s most characteristic masterpieces, that
portray him at diverse moments of his short-lived life and weave a fascinating
story with a tragic end.
