Fantastic biography of the great Italian painter.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (Milan, September 29, 1571-Porto Ercole, July 18, 1610), known as Caravaggio, was an Italian painter, active in Rome, Naples, Malta and Sicily between 1593 and 1610. His painting combines a realistic observation of the human figure, both physically and emotionally, with a dramatic use of light, which exerted a decisive influence on the formation of Baroque painting.
