An unprecedented accumulation of international loans buttresses this showstopping retrospective of the Baroque master's life and legacy
Caravaggio is an Old Master for a modern age. His recent resurgence in popularity owes in no small part to his dramatic compositions, which expose the conflict between salvation and damnation in the souls of each of his subjects, whether biblical saints or streetwise criminals.
Michelangelo Merisi, known as Caravaggio (1571-1610), was born in Milan. His early commissions included works for Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte and the Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi. From 1600 to 1606 he was considered the most famous painter in Rome. After killing a wealthy young man he fled the city, still painting but on the run as a criminal. He died under mysterious circumstances in 1610.
