Caravaggio's hands

Revolutionary in his way of painting, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) personifies in every aspect of his eventful life the romantic figure of the damned artist.

Caravaggio was a leading Italian painter of the late 16th and early 17th centuries who became famous for the intense and unsettling realism of his large-scale religious works.

Caravaggio's innovations inspired Baroque painting, but the latter incorporated the drama of his chiaroscuro without the psychological realism.

Undoubtedly his work shows his long term classical academic education in painting which fascinates with provocative and erotic illustrations, which often are exaggerated in a grotesque way.
